SIS II (Schengen Information System II)

SIS II (Schengen Information System II) is a secure, shared database used by countries in the Schengen Area to exchange important security and border information. It helps national authorities monitor individuals and objects related to criminal activities, wanted persons, missing persons, and stolen goods or vehicles. By sharing this data in real-time, SIS II enhances cooperation among member states, helps prevent crime, and ensures effective border control, supporting the free movement of people within the Schengen Zone while maintaining security.
