An apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating documentation of the occupants of a vehicle at a border-crossing or other checkpoint. A documentation device is provided through which the occupants of the vehicle self-report documentation information, such as passport information and fingerprint information. Substantiation information is also provided in the form of an infrared or photographic image. If the self-reported documentation information corresponds with the substantiation information, the self-reported information is considered to be valid. If, however, the substantiation information does not correspond with the documentation information, further investigation of the vehicle is warranted.
