![]() You can download the free United Airlines app from the Google play store. ![]() The bad news is that the system can’t yet verify visas, so if you need a visa for the country you’re visiting, you’ll still need to check-in the old-fashioned way. The app uses the mobile devices camera feature to capture travelers passports, similar to a mobile banking deposit. If your passport is already registered with United from a previous international flight, you don’t need to scan it again, it is verified automatically. It asks for the front of the passport but shows animation as though it wants the photo page.and will not take a photo no matter what I do. It says it takes the photo automatically but it doesnt actually seem to be doing so. Once you’ve scanned your passport with your Android phone’s camera, the app sends the details to credentials management company Jumio Inc, who verify that your passport is valid which then allows you to download your boarding pass. The system app offers the option of passport scan to check in but I am finding the I instructions lacking. United Airlines is aiming to end this by adding the ability to scan and verify your passport using its mobile app, then head straight to Departures at the airport. The immigration authorities of most countries require airlines to check the passports of their passengers before they are allowed to fly, so if you are making your first international flight with an airline, you have to queue up at check-in instead of downloading your own boarding pass at home.
