3.12 HANIS Face

The HANIS (Home Affairs National Identification System) Face method is for the citizens of South Africa. This method enables you to enroll the personal identification number or passport number issued by Home Affairs National Identification System. When you try to authenticate on any device, the presented face is matched with the enrolled face in the HANIS database. If the images match, you are authenticated successfully.

NOTE:If the Passport number or National ID is not registered in the repository for a user profile, then the HANIS method is not enrolled automatically. However, you can manually enroll the HANIS Face method from the Authentication Methods page.
