A computer-implemented method for identifying a person on the basis of an identity document in an identification system comprising a plurality of spatially distributed identification control points, the method comprising: detecting an identity date based on the identification document of the person by a first identification control point; and providing the detected identity date for a second identification control point according to a queuing criterion, wherein the detected identity date is transmitted to the second identification control point from the first identification control point or from a central server entity, wherein the respective queuing criterion is one of the following criteria: priority of detecting the detected identity date, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data, priority of an assignment of the detected identity date to the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which are assigned to the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which are to be displayed by the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which were provided for the second identification control point; wherein the step of providing comprises displaying the detected identity date by the second identification control point according to the queuing criterion, wherein a graphic display is used to display the identity date, with which the second identification control point is provided, so that the identity date is displayed by a graphic user interface, wherein the graphic user interface comprises an area in which detected images of persons are displayed on the basis of identification documents in the order in which these persons are standing in a queue at the second identification control point. detecting an identity date based on the identification document of the person by a first identification control point; and providing the detected identity date for a second identification control point according to a queuing criterion, wherein the detected identity date is transmitted to the second identification control point from the first identification control point or from a central server entity, wherein the respective queuing criterion is one of the following criteria: priority of detecting the detected identity date, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data, priority of an assignment of the detected identity date to the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which are assigned to the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which are to be displayed by the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which were provided for the second identification control point; wherein the step of providing comprises displaying the detected identity date by the second identification control point according to the queuing criterion, wherein a graphic display is used to display the identity date, with which the second identification control point is provided, so that the identity date is displayed by a graphic user interface, wherein the graphic user interface comprises an area in which detected images of persons are displayed on the basis of identification documents in the order in which these persons are standing in a queue at the second identification control point. priority of detecting the detected identity date, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data, priority of an assignment of the detected identity date to the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which are assigned to the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which are to be displayed by the second identification control point, arrangement of the detected identity date in an order of detected identity data which were provided for the second identification control point; wherein the step of providing comprises displaying the detected identity date by the second identification control point according to the queuing criterion, wherein a graphic display is used to display the identity date, with which the second identification control point is provided, so that the identity date is displayed by a graphic user interface, wherein the graphic user interface comprises an area in which detected images of persons are displayed on the basis of identification documents in the order in which these persons are standing in a queue at the second identification control point.
