Within a week of the biometric scan's implementation at all border points, Al-Jarida reported quoting official sources that 36,000 people took part.

Biometric fingerprints are currently taken from those entering the country through the border crossings, including citizens, GCC nationals, and expatriates. The scanning does not include those under 21.

Essentially, the biometric scan is a security project in the interest of citizens and residents.

There will be a scan of the eye print, the face print, and the ten finger prints. The previous decimal fingerprint was an ordinary photograph.

Currently, this only applies to arriving passengers and the elderly and people with special needs will receive priority.
