IRIS requires separate enrolment, as it uses a scan of your eye's iris. It can be used with an old-fashioned passport or an e-passport. The e-passport gates rely on information digitally stored in the passport and facial recognition, so no separate enrolment required. However, it is only open to EEA passports.
