March 2012 by Marc Jacob
Morpho (Safran group) announced that it has signed a 10-year contract with Chile’s national records administration (Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación) to produce e-ID cards and e-Passports under the country’s new identification and ID and travel document issuance system.
The company will provide end-to-end secure ID management and document production based on its latest-generation identity management solution. Under the contract, Morpho will also supply enrollment stations for capturing biometric data (photos and fingerprints). For additional security, the ID cards and passport data pages will be manufactured in highly secure production sites, using polycarbonate,
the most resistant material on the market today.
With its solid expertise in identity management, biometrics, smart cards and secure printing, Morpho is equipped to provide Chile with a world-class identification solution that meets the industry’s most stringent standards.
Morpho has been present in Latin America since 1995 and has deployed biometric and identity systems in 17 countries in the region to date.
