EASY PASS

What is EasyPASS?

The border control system at a glance.

Quick, simple, modern: With EasyPASS, you can simplify your own border crossing at the airport and take care of it yourself. Scan your electronic passport (ePassport), take a quick look at the camera – and you've already passed border control.

Whether it's a business meeting, a city trip or a beach holiday: More and more people are travelling by air. To meet this challenge, EasyPASS is designed to support the officers of the Federal Police who are deployed in border control. The (partially) automated border control system checks the identity of the traveller as well as the validity and authenticity of the electronic travel document.

This has many advantages: It is very safe, easy to handle and allows you to pass the border control independently and quickly. EasyPASS participants can use additional control lanes (eGates) at Germany's busiest airports and thus reduce not only their own wait time, but also the wait time of other travellers.

The free and voluntary service is an important component of integrated border management in Europe. The EU is funding the new control system with money from the European External Borders Fund.
