November 2014 by Marc Jacob
Morpho (Safran) will supply the Slovak Republic with electronic identity cards (eIDs).
Morpho’s highly secure e-ID card guarantees the secure authentication and unambiguous identification of individuals, enabling citizens to securely and conveniently use electronic government services.
Rudolf Hlavaty, Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic added: "We are pleased to see that Morpho has broadened its spectrum of supplied documents to us, which also includes our national eID document. This distinguishes Morpho as the main supplier of security documents for Slovakia.”
The delivery of the polycarbonate cards with integrated contact-based crypto controller will start in February 2015. Over the following three years Morpho will produce more than 2 million eID cards for Slovakia. The security specialist is already supplying most of the other official secure documents for the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic: Morpho delivers 300,000 passports with complete booklet and polycarbonate data pages per year, and in addition also the Slovakian vehicle registration cards and resident permits.
