A legal identity is essential to our lives. For an individual, this does not only mean belonging to a country, but also guarantees access to social benefits and services such as health care, education, humanitarian aid, and financial support. An official identity enables you to exercise your rights and responsibilities in society, such as the right to vote and the right to inheritance.

Our mission is to deliver end-to-end solutions and services to meet every government identity need. These range from paper to security printing, electrical chip components, enrolment, personalization and issuance, mobile ID solutions, and border control solutions including eGates. Governments can acquire best-in-class passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses, and more, or even the facilities to manufacture their own.
