AirportGateway. NorthStar

The Airport ID Centre,
Reimagined.

NorthStar automates every stage of the airport ID card process. Security Managers get consistent vetting and a defensible audit trail. COOs get faster clearance times and a smaller operational footprint. Compliance leads get audit-ready records, assembled in one click.

What is NorthStar

Intelligent automation for regulated airside environments.

Most Airport ID Centres are still running on manual data entry, paper-based interviews, and disconnected systems. Every step that relies on a person introduces variability, and in a regulated environment, variability creates risk.

NorthStar applies artificial intelligence and automated workflows to every stage of the ID card process: reading and validating documents, verifying identities, conducting structured interviews, scoring applications for risk, and issuing passes without requiring applicants to attend on-site.

The result is an ID Centre that processes more applications, with greater consistency, at a lower cost per pass, and produces a complete, tamper-evident audit trail for every decision made. It is great for whom

How it Works

Every stage of the process. Automated, auditable, intelligent.

NorthStar redesigns the five core stages of airport ID card issuance around AI-assisted workflows and automated decision-making.

Step 1 : Applicant Data

Applicants submit documents digitally. NorthStar scans, auto-extracts, and validates all data fields. No manual keying, no missing information, no rekeying errors.

AI. Document Intelligence

Scale as you're ready.

NorthStar is available in three packages, each designed around a specific stage of operational maturity.

Package 1:
Remote Issuance
