Palm identification test on the Friendship Bridge
Guia 3 newsroom · edited by Annie GrellmannPortuguêsEspañol
Federal Revenue demonstration occurs on October 30 at 10 a.m. at the bridge customs
The Federal Revenue will present, next Wednesday (October 30, 2026), a palm-print identification system at the Customs of the Friendship Bridge in Foz do Iguaçu. The demonstration, at 10 a.m., will be held in a passage area for people traveling from Brazil to Paraguay.
The goal of the test is to assess the effectiveness of biometric recognition to speed up customs control. It is a pilot project carried out at one of the busiest crossing points in the region.
During the event, press professionals will be able to conduct practical tests with the equipment. The Federal Revenue has not yet decided whether the technology will be adopted permanently, but expects to use the results to decide on a possible integration into inspection and control practices at the border.
