People with ROC Nationality Applying for Automatic Inspection and Customs Clearance System
People with ROC nationality are only required to hold a "Taiwan Passport" or "ROC (Taiwan) Exit & Entry Permit" and photo IDs issued by the government agency (such as ID cards, health insurance cards, or drivers license) to register for free at the application counter (ROC (Taiwan) Exit & Entry Permit can only be used in the Kinmen Shuitou Commercial Port).
At the time of application, the computer will screen and record the applicant's facial image or the index fingerprints for both hands (which is voluntary instead of mandatory) before the applicant signs his/her name on the application form to complete the entire procedure that lasts for approximately 2 minutes. The application form is automatically printed out from the system so that all applicant needs to do is to sign his/her name on it and save time. It should be noted that the applicant must be of ROC nationality with household registration at an age of 14 or older and have an overall height of 140 cm or more without prohibited from going abroad as a penalty.
