Profiles - Diverse Gender

For travellers who do not identify as male or female, a new Diverse Gender option is now available within Profiles.

There are additional considerations when travelling with Diverse Gender selected.
Not all 3^rd party systems Kudos integrates with support Diverse Genders. Contract the 3rd party vendor for more information as well as the Kudos Travel Technology support team.

Due to requirements in downstream systems the travel platform integrates with (e.g. Amadeus, Serko OBT, Tramada TMS), these Gender options also remain on the main profile General section (tab) in case a traveller does not have any passport information recorded.

Passport Photo Upload via OCR Reader

The release now provides the ability to add a Passport by uploading a copy (image) of the travel document directly into Profiles. Once the passport image has been uploaded the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) at the base of the passport will be read and details automatically extracted and validated against the profile.

Upload Passport Steps

Select Add Passport from the passport screen
Select Upload Passport Photo
Browse for the passport image on your computer or mobile device (2MB or less)
Allow the system between 5-10 seconds to process the passport
Confirm the details on the Preview Screen are correct and select Save
A passport has now been created and the passport image saved alongside

Passport Preview

If the passport was successfully processed, the passport preview panel will provide a visual confirmation of these details in addition to validating the passport names and date of birth against the main profile.

In the event of discrepancies the user can chose to Cancel the process or alternatively enter the passport details manually.

Passport Details Layout Enhancement

The following Passport Details layout enhanced have been implemented:

Gender is now stored at the passport level along with the new Diverse option
Country of Issue changed to a selection list
Passport image displayed at bottom of passport form (if uploaded)

Profile Search using Known As

This feature will allow Profiles to be searched either by First Name or Known As. The latter is particularly useful when a traveller is not known by their legal name.

Platform Administration

Profiles - Optional Title

To coincide with the Gender Diversity option now available within the platform, the Traveller Title selection list can now be configured within Profiles to be non-mandatory (i.e. optional).

This is a company-level setting and must be updated in Kudos Administration.
