The multiple-identity detector (MID) in accordance with Regulations (EU) 2019/8171and (EU) 2019/8182is used to verify identities and to combat identity fraud.
If data are recorded or updated in the EES, ETIAS, C-VIS, SIS or Eurodac, a check for multiple identities is automatically triggered in the CIR and SIS.
During this check, the following data are compared with the data already available in the CIR and the SIS:
in the sBMS: the biometric templates;
in the ESP: the identity data and the data on the travel documents.
If there is a link between the data in accordance with Articles 30–33 of Regulations (EU) 2019/817 and (EU) 2019/818, an identity confirmation file shall be created and stored in the MID in accordance with Article 34 of these Regulations.
