Frequently Asked Questions > Immigration > Using Iris Recognition for Immigration Clearance   Question: Who are eligible to use iris recognition for immigration clearance? Answer: The use of iris recognition for immigration clearance is applicable to Macao residents who are 7 years old or above and are eligible to use the automated passenger clearance service, and Hong Kong permanent residents aged 11 or above and have registered for the Macao automated passenger clearance. Passengers aged 18 or above may register their iris biometrics for immigration clearance when using the “iris automated channels” equipped with the registration function for the first time. Minors under the age of 18 and passengers who fail to register their iris biometrics at the “iris automated channels” can go to the designated locations during service hours for manual registration of their iris biometrics.
