Regula and RADEX BCMS won the High Security Printing™ Latin America Award 2026 for a border-control system that processes travelers in 10 seconds [1].
The recognition highlights a shift toward high-speed identity verification, potentially reducing congestion at international transit points. By slashing the time required to clear security, the technology aims to balance rigorous forensic checks with the need for efficient passenger flow.
The companies received the honor in the Best New Process or Technology category [1]. Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions, partnered with RADEX BCMS, a provider of border control management software, to create the joint project [1].
The announcement originated from Reston, Virginia, on June 16, 2026 [1]. The award recognizes the ability of the integrated system to improve efficiency by reducing the processing time to roughly 10 seconds per person [1].
This technological integration combines hardware and software to streamline the verification of identity documents, and biometric data. The 2026 award emphasizes the scalability of such processes in the Latin American market and beyond [1].
“processes travelers in about 10 seconds each”
The adoption of sub-15-second processing times represents a move toward 'frictionless' borders. By integrating forensic hardware with management software, these companies are addressing the primary bottleneck in international travel: the trade-off between security depth and throughput speed.
