Maple Grove, MN—Pakor announced its newest fastID passport system. The wireless passport photo system was developed to streamline passport photography with consistent results. It is designed to fulfill a need for retailers preparing for future airline security changes by simplifying passport photography using biometric facial recognition.

The fastID’s Photomatic software automatically processes a captured image into an ICAO-compliant photograph. The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that defines standards for machine-readable passports worldwide.

Its biometric technology analyzes each photo against 30 credentials to ensure it passes strict government requirements, giving users 100% accuracy for both domestic and international ID photos.

Pakor

Pakor was founded by Glen M. Dye in 1910 to make photographic processing equipment. The Photo Advertising Company was incorporated in 1912 under the name Pako Corporation. Later it extended into designing, engineering, marketing print machines, dopers and film machines. In 1960 the company moved its headquarters to Golden Valley, Minnesota. Dye helped to develop a color film-processing machine for processing animated cartoon films, the first of its kind, built specially for Walt Disney Studios. By 1980 Pako was said to be the largest supplier of photographic, graphic arts as well as x-ray processing equipment.

Pako formed a joint venture with Copal to sell one-hour photo labs and formed the Phototek division to service on-site photo labs and also supply parts for Pako photographic machines. Furthermore, in June 26, 1988, the division was incorporated and the name was changed to Pakor, Inc.

Pakor has been placing passport systems around the country for more than 15 years. These systems have been placed into government service centers, photo labs, large retailers as well as fortune 500 corporations. pakor.com
