1. Border authorities shall verify, in accordance with Article 23, whether a previous individual file has been created in the EES for the third-country national as well as his or her identity. Where a third-country national uses a self-service system for the pre-enrolment of data or for the carrying out of border checks, the verification shall be carried out through the self-service system.
2. Where a previous individual file has been created for the third-country national, the border authority shall, where necessary:
(a) update that individual file, namely the data referred to in Articles 16, 17 and 18, as applicable, and
(b) enter an entry record for each entry and an exit record for each exit in accordance with Articles 16 and 17 or, where applicable, a refusal of entry record in accordance with Article 18.
The records referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph shall be linked to the individual file of the third-country national concerned.
Where applicable, the data referred to in Article 19(1), (2), (4) and (5) shall be added to the entry/exit record of the third-country national concerned. The travel documents and identities used legitimately by a third-country national shall be added to the third-country national’s individual file.
Where a previous individual file is recorded and the third-country national presents a valid travel document which differs from the one that was previously recorded, the data referred to in point (d) of Article 16(1) and point (b) of Article 17(1) shall also be updated in accordance with Article 15.
