Onsite Identification and Verification System

The Onsite Identification and Verification System (OIVS) is a mobile technology device used by Bangladesh's elite security force, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), to instantly identify and verify information about suspects and criminals in the field.

[3] To modernize operations and solve these problems, RAB's Communication and MIS Wing developed OIVS in 2021 as a field-based biometric and database identity verification system.

By inputting a suspect's fingerprint, national ID number, or date of birth into the OIVS device, officers can instantly pull up identification information and criminal history from connected government databases.

[12][13] By facilitating rapid in-field suspect identification, OIVS has increased the speed and effectiveness of RAB's operations.

[4] The technology has been credited with identifying wanted murder suspects, members of terrorist organizations, as well as unknown deceased bodies and mentally disabled people to return them to families faster.
