Schengen Information System

The Schengen Information System (SIS) is a secure electronic database used by European countries in the Schengen Area to share important security and border information. It helps authorities track stolen vehicles, missing persons, wanted criminals, and individuals who pose security risks. When someone tries to cross a border or is involved in an investigation, authorities can quickly check the SIS for relevant information, ensuring smoother travel while maintaining safety and security across participating countries. It’s a crucial tool for cooperation and information sharing within the Schengen zone.
