Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product is disclosed for checking credentials, using a drone. The drone detects a line of people, and the drone can communicate with the base station. The drone can request information from a person on the line for checking credentials of the people in the line with respect to a purpose for forming the line. The method and system captures information about the person, in response to the drone requesting information from the person, and the person providing the requested information. The method and system checks the information with data stored at the base station to verify the person's information with respect to required credentials being related to the purpose of the line. A message is communicated, using the drone, to the person on the line, in response to the checking of the information of the person.
