Border ContractsPublic register

Public register · updated 19 October 2026

Who builds the world's border systems, and on what terms

A sourced record of government contracts for immigration control, passenger data, biometrics and airport security. For each deal: the buyer, the vendor, how it is paid for, who owns the system and the data, and what auditors, parliaments and courts have found. Every vendor and every country is recorded the same way.
