Article 27 Multiple-identity detection
United Kingdom
Multiple-identity detection in the CIR and SIS shall be launched where:
an individual file is created or updated in the EES in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226;
an application file is created or updated in VIS in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 767/2008;

Where the data contained within an EU information system referred to in paragraph 1 contains biometric data, the CIR and Central SIS shall use the shared BMS in order to perform multiple-identity detection. The shared BMS shall compare the biometric templates obtained from any new biometric data to the biometric templates already contained in the shared BMS in order to verify whether data belonging to the same person are already stored in the CIR or in Central SIS.
In addition to the process referred to in paragraph 2, the CIR and Central SIS shall use the ESP to search the data stored in Central SIS and the CIR respectively using the following data:
surname (family name); first name or names (given names); date of birth; nationality or nationalities; and sex; as referred to in Articles 16(1)(a), 17(1) and 18(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226;

surnames, forenames, names at birth, previously used names and aliases, place of birth, date of birth, gender and any nationalities held, as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1860.
In addition to the process referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, the CIR and Central SIS shall use the ESP to search the data stored in Central SIS and the CIR respectively using travel document data.
The multiple-identity detection shall only be launched in order to compare data available in one EU information system with data available in other EU information systems.
