How can one enrol?

For FR enrolment, passengers can visit any of the FR Registration Counters at the airport with a valid government ID card, contact details and get their face captured by the camera. After this is done, a CISF personnel would physically check the applicant's government ID proof and once it has been verified successfully, a unique DigiYatra/FR ID for the passenger is generated.

An exclusive e-gate for DigiYatris?

An exclusive e-gate is available for enrolled passengers at Departure Gate No 3. At this gate, passengers will have to get their boarding card scanned, face the FR Camera, which will verify and match the person's credentials along with the itinerary details.

Once the verification is complete, the passenger gets checked-in automatically and e-gate opens — all done within split seconds.
