An imaging system associates one or more the iris images with a selfie face image for biometric identity. The imaging system captures a first image of a subject using light in a visible wavelength range and captures a second image of the subject using light in a near infrared wavelength range. The image system retrieves a selfie face image of the subject, and matches a face portion of the first image against a face portion of the selfie face image, wherein the face portion for each at least comprises an iris. In response to the matching, the image system segments one or more iris portions from the second image to generate one or more iris images and binds the first image and the one or more iris images to the selfie face image for biometric identity.
