flagging a profile of the user; and

transmitting to the access control system an indication of one or more flags corresponding to the profile.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein flagging the profile of the user comprises:

based on the information, determining at least one of that the identification of the user is set to expire in a threshold amount of time, a visa of the user has expired, or a visa of the user is set to expire in a threshold amount of time; and

associating the one or more determinations with the profile of the user as one or more flags.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving, from a computing system that is a third party with respect to the computing device and the access control system, data corresponding to the user,

wherein flagging a profile of the user comprises:

based on the data, determining at least one of that the user has been charged with a crime in a country corresponding to the geographic boundary, the user has been convicted of a crime in a country corresponding to the geographic boundary, there is an active arrest warrant for the user in a country, the user is on a no fly list of a country, the user has been barred or excluded from a country, or the user has previously unlawfully entered a country; and

associating the one or more determinations with the profile of the user as one or more flags.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the user is proximate to a geographic boundary comprises, based on the location data, determining that the computing device is a threshold distance from the geographic boundary.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving data from the access control system indicating a specified location for the user to move to or for the user to remain at;
