In the future, businesses will be able to register and access the services of the Airport ID Card Service Center via the Fraport-wide B2B portal.

Businesses will be able to request and manage airport ID card services in an intuitive web portal (e.g. ID card applications, authorization requests, training, evaluations, etc.). The web portal will be integrated in the B2B portal, meaning that businesses will only have to register or log in once.

Fraport AG is currently working on the implementation of a new ID card management system. Due to the complexity and the involvement of different layered systems, the implementation phase is expected to take several years.

In the future, it will be possible to apply for ID cards through the B2B portal in a fully digital process. To satisfy all legal requirements during the background check, an AI-driven identification procedure (e.g. commonly used for opening a bank account) will be integrated in the application process.

The system is workflow-based, meaning that some parts of the application can be filled out by the company and others by the individual. There will also be the option to upload documents.
