✈️ No Mobile Tickets or ID? Your Face Is Now Your Pass
- The airport uses facial recognition technology to identify you at various stages of your journey — from entering the terminal to security checks and even boarding the aircraft.
- Once your data-face is scanned and matched with your DigiYatra profile, you don’t need to present traditional documents like printed or mobile tickets or ID cards like passport/Aadhaar.
- Your data-face becomes both your identity proof and travel pass at every touchpoint where DigiYatra is enabled.
- Carry a valid boarding pass (printed or mobile).
- Show a government‑approved photo ID such as a passport, Aadhaar card, voter ID, PAN card, driving licence, etc. — these are normally compulsory at security checkpoints and before boarding, as per standard indian airport security rules. (General airport ID rules historically require one of the recognised IDs at security and boarding.)
- DigiYatra is a tech platform designed to simplify airport processes using facial biometrics.
- Many major indian airports have been rolling it out — the idea is to reduce document checks and speed up passenger movement through the airport.
- You register your details and biometric profile ahead of time usually via an app or at the airport. Once your data-face‑print is on record, checkpoints can match you quickly without ID cards.
✔ If you haven’t registered for DigiYatra, you still must show your boarding pass and valid photo ID at the required checkpoints — the usual airport security procedure.
