The European border and coast guard service Frontex is developing a new system to make checks of travel and identity documents more effective.
The False and Authentic Documents Online (FADO) system has been the EU’s hub for sharing images of authentic and false documents for more than two decades. As forgeries grow more sophisticated, and the technologies used to detect them evolve, Frontex says the system must keep pace and has consequently created the new EBCG FADO (European Border and Coast Guard False and Authentic Documents Online) system. EBCG FADO will run on a new technical platform designed around user needs.
