Первый среди регионов: аэропорт Екатеринбурга запустил автоматический паспортный контроль

To pass the automatic checkpoint, you need a biometric passport of the 75th series and higher. 

The system reads the passport chip, checks the boarding pass, face and fingerprint. To get a stamp, you need to approach the border guard. Passengers say that thanks to new technologies, it has become easier and more convenient to pass control, as there are clear instructions.
