Biometric ID · Rapid ID

Instant Identification, Unmatched Efficiency.

Speed up on-site identification with secure fingerprint scanning that lets officers and staff verify identity in the field, in minutes, improving response times and operational effectiveness.

The problem

Why Waiting to Confirm an Identity Isn't Good Enough

Sending someone back to a station or a desk to confirm an identity costs time a checkpoint doesn’t have.

Delays confirming identity

Waiting on a check back at base slows down every stop, transaction or entry.

No connectivity in the field

Verification that depends on a live link fails exactly where it’s needed most.

Paper or manual checks

ID documents alone are easy to forge and slow to verify by eye.

High-risk situations needing certainty

Officers and staff in the field need a reliable answer, not a guess.

Disconnected from central records

A check that can’t reach the right database isn’t much of a check.

No audit trail from the field

Manual verification leaves no reliable record of who was checked, where or when.

How it works

From Fingerprint to Confirmed Identity, in the Field

Fingerprint Capture

Officers capture a fingerprint on a handheld device, at the roadside, checkpoint or door.

Data Transmission

The print is encrypted and checked against your central database or a watchlist stored on the device.

Instant Result

A match, or no match, comes back in seconds, and every check is logged for the audit trail.

RAPID ID

Built for Work in the Field

Rugged, handheld and able to work offline, Rapid ID gives officers and staff a confirmed identity wherever the check needs to happen.

Why Arana

Big Business Standards. Small Business Attention.

We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.

Direct access

Speak with the engineer who configured your Rapid ID devices, not a support queue starting from zero.

Fast to move

New databases, watchlists and field teams are connected in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.

Tailored, not templated

Devices and matching set up around your checkpoints and databases, not a generic configuration.

Accountable, end to end​

The team that deploys your devices is the same team accountable when an officer needs an answer in the field.

Take Identification Into the Field

Tell us about your deployment, and we’ll put together a quote, no lengthy sales process, just an engineer who knows the product.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Rapid ID is a handheld fingerprint identification device. Officers and staff capture a fingerprint in the field, and it is checked against your central database or an on-device watchlist, returning a result in seconds.

Yes. Reference records and watchlists can be stored on the device, so checks continue where there’s no signal, and results sync back once a connection is available.

We integrate Rapid ID with the systems your organisation already uses, from central identity databases to local watchlists, as part of the deployment.

Fingerprint data is encrypted on the device and in transit, and every check is logged, so you have a full audit trail of who was checked, where and when.
