Fight Fraud, Maximize Security

Create highly secure ID documents

In a rapidly changing world, it is more difficult than ever to verify any individual’s identity — whether that person is entering a facility, accessing a network, boarding a plane or crossing a border. Secure ID credentials must resist fraud, forgery, tampering and counterfeiting. Information security must extend from enrollment to data management, card issuance and post-issuance activities. The IDs themselves may need to enable visual identification, access control, time tracking and other activities. Of course, citizens also expect fast, over-the-counter issuance.

Governments around the world depend on Datacard® solutions to address many of these critical issues. With Datacard servicing over 200 government programs in more than 85 countries, we have developed a deep understanding of local business practices and government regulations.

National ID

To successfully combat threats from fraud, illegal immigration and terrorism, national ID programs require increased security in their processes and documents. Datacard Group provides an integrated approach, enabling countries around the world to design and develop programs that provide robust security elements throughout the process. National ID cards include many visual elements complemented by machine readable technologies for interoperability.

Driver’s License

Datacard Group deploys proven and cost-effective secure driver’s license solutions in the U.S. and around the world. Laser engraving, high-resolution holograms and smart cards are just a few of the innovations our solutions use to enhance security and durability. As emerging standards around issuance processes and security continue to raise requirements for driver’s license programs, Datacard solutions can help your agency understand and comply with these standards.

Border Control

Every day, millions of travelers depend on passports and ID credential to cross borders. Customs and immigration officials see these documents as the first line of defense for safeguarding their border. To address these concerns, Datacard Group integrates biometrics, smart card technologies and other innovations into border crossing credentials. These enhanced security documents not only help ensure easy, reliable verification, they significantly reduce the risk of fraud and forgery, and simplify compatibility with emerging international standards.

National Healthcare

Cost effective healthcare smart cards enable a wide range of activities. They make it easier for citizens to receive health benefits, access e-government services and pay medical premiums via the Internet. In many applications, they also serve as valid documents for visual identification. Datacard Group is a leading solutions provider for these programs, integrating data capture, card issuance and post-issuance benefits tracking.

Precinct Management

Around the world, election administrators are looking to improve the efficiency, accuracy and auditability of their voter check-in and registration processes. Datacard Group addresses these issues by automating management of voter registration data, expediting voter check-in and strengthening poll site security while eliminating the need for traditional paper poll books.

Emergency Management

In times of crisis, first responders need to manage incident scenes with security and control, deploy resources effectively and restrict site access to authorized individuals. Datacard® solutions help identify first responders, volunteers and victims in real-time with innovative badging, asset tracking and data management capabilities. These solutions comply with FIPS 201 standards, which helps ensure interoperability with industry-leading emergency management systems.

Law Enforcement

Identification security, reliability and accuracy are essential for military and law enforcement applications. Datacard® solutions enable officials to access classified information, secure areas and track assets with secure credentials, providing superior data management and accountability. Our flexible solutions enable agencies to create personalized IDs locally, while managing data through a secure, centralized, Web-accessible database. To ensure secure identity management, our solutions incorporate contactless smart cards, embedded biometrics and other technologies.

Government Employee ID

Interoperability needs around the world are motivating government agencies to implement standards for government employee ID programs, similar to the FIPS 201 standard in the U.S. Datacard Group provides integrated ID solutions that enable employees and contractors to enter government buildings and other secure areas. We work closely with governments globally to assure that our solutions continue to achieve official approvals including the FIPS 201 PIV requirement for access to US federal offices.
