ID and DL Cards

Sound ID protection and reliable ID verification are matters of concern for every citizen who cares about their ID security. The use of counterfeit identity cards and driver’s licenses presents a serious threat to security both on a national and on a personal level. Secure identities and ID protection are thus a core interest of governments around the world, not least in order to protect states, businesses and private citizens from identity-related crimes and related financial losses.

What is the global best practice for ID security and secure driver's licenses? The gold standard in secure ID cards and licences is the use of polycarbonate combined with a sophisticated, well-integrated security feature. The KINEGRAM offers a wide variety of solutions for secure ID cards, most notably embedded security features for polycarbonate ID cards and secure driver’s licenses. Such cards are strongly resistant against counterfeiting and fraud.

KINEGRAM solutions for ID protection include embedded features or threads, that can be used to protect photo ID cards and driver licenses. Full Data Protection solutions open up new possibilities for design and take the security to a maximum level.

• Secure full-surface protection of personalized data

The laser-engraved photo lies beneath the KINEGRAM thus preventing photo manipulation. The photo is clearly visible no matter the viewing angle. Transparent optical effects overlapping the photo become visible when the card is tilted, whereas the metallized areas exhibit very high brilliance and enhance the ID card security through elevated counterfeit resistance.

The KINEGRAM can be verified using standard document readers and smartphones.

PVC and composite cards are the go-to solution for ID protection and secure driver's licenses in many countries. KINEGRAM solutions for ID security and ID verification in these issuance environments include thinfilm and thickfilm overlays as well as surface-applied patches.

KINEGRAM features are the gold standard for protecting identities. This is not only true for sophisticated documents based on polycarbonate. The KINEGRAM is also ideal to secure personalized paper documents – for example in scenarios of uncomplicated, rapid ID issuance, or to enable the creation of a secure temporary ID document.

For regular or temporary documents in card format, but also for paper based passport data pages, the KINEGRAM technology can also be used by applying a ready-made pouch which serves to protect the holder's photograph on a passport data page. The resulting laminate contains the KINEGRAM security feature, either in transparent or metallized version.
