Passport Photo Morphing: A Modern Security Threat
Passport photo morphing—the blending of two facial images into one—is an emerging security risk with global implications. Fraudsters exploit this technique to create a single photo that resembles multiple people, allowing unauthorized individuals to cross borders using forged or manipulated travel documents. As border control agencies and forensic labs face increasing pressure to prevent such deception, accurate detection tools are essential.
A New Solution for Morphing Detection
The Regula 4166 is a unique, compact device specifically designed to detect morphing performed through overprinting on laminated document photos. It is tailored for both fast operation and detailed forensic examination. Thanks to its specific camera angle and precision-engineered structure, the Regula 4166 captures images that reveal visual artifacts of morphing—such as paint droplets or ink blots on laminated surfaces—enabling clear and reliable assessment of document manipulation.
