An API-PNR system is a border security system that allows governments to collect and analyze passenger information before a person arrives in or departs from the country.- API (Advance Passenger Information) refers to a set of biographic data — such as a traveler’s full name, date of birth, nationality, travel document number, and flight details — which airlines are required to transmit to border authorities prior to departure or arrival.- PNR (Passenger Name Record) contains richer, reservation-based data gathered by airlines or travel agencies, including itinerary, payment method, contact information, travel companions, seat number, and baggage details.Together, API and PNR data give authorities early visibility of who is traveling, enabling them to perform risk assessments and security screening before the traveler reaches the border. This helps detect and prevent terrorism, organized crime, and irregular migration, while facilitating faster, smoother entry for low-risk passengers. The International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), a UN agency, has mandated that all countries should have introduce an API-PNR system to support international efforts to combat transnational crimes. Many countries are still non-compliant.

Travizory's API-PNR system is the leading solution for governments seeking to comply with the ICAO standard on Advance Passenger Information, and enhance security at the border. Our system is a state-of-the-art system enabling governments to receive, process, and analyze traveler data from airlines, ferries, and other carriers before arrival and departure. The system leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate identity verification and document validation; assign a risk-score to each individual traveler; and alert authorities when persons of interest are flagged. Importantly, AI and manual review work hand in hand – with AI acting as a first stage review, offering greater speed and precision, while border officers focus on the few cases that require their unique experience, ensuring a comprehensive and robust security framework. Travizory's API-PNR system integrates with existing infrastructure and border systems, and can be combined with Travizory's Biometric Travel Authorization or Biometric eVisa to deliver richer actionable intelligence and advanced risk-assessment, through biometric watchlist matching. Uniquely, Travizory manages the end-to-end implementation process, including all stakeholder engagement with carriers to ensure a regular, high-quality and reliable data feed straight to the front line.

By providing real-time traveler data from airlines, maritime operators, and other carriers, Travizory's API-PNR system uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to flag persons of interest, giving authorities advance notice of who is travelling and before they arrive. Travizory API-PNR combines data from multiple sources, including historical and current traveler records, watchlists, and public databases, into a single traveler profile. This enables actionable insights, predictive threat detection, and informed decision-making for customs, intelligence, law enforcement, and immigration authorities.Accessing this rich data in advance reduces the threat of drug and human trafficking, illegal migration and money-laundering. Border agencies can deny boarding to high-risk passengers, or plan interventions on arrival when a person of interest is identified. The system encourages cross-agency collaboration and knowledge-sharing, reducing duplication across teams and enabling real-time communication to front-line officers. The system can integrate with existing infrastructure to enhance security at the border, as part of a comprehensive, intelligent Border Management System.
