Security That Covers the Entire Document: KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection
KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP) is the ideal solution for protecting polycarbonate-based identity credentials such as passports, ID cards or driver’s licenses. Clever integration of the full-surface passport security feature and the document print results in a harmonious design that enables straightforward and self-explanatory checks for passport authenticity. The KINEGRAM is a pioneer in fortifying polycarbonate-based ID cards and passports against counterfeiting.
In polycarbonate-based documents, the holder’s photograph and personalized data are incorporated into an internal substrate layer by laser personalization. While the substrate’s abrasion resistance offers a certain manual protection, a KINEGRAM secures the photograph and the data against counterfeiting and manipulation. KINEGRAM elements for polycarbonate substrates are known as Polycarbonate Inlays or KINEGRAM PCI elements.
KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP) secures all important data on a polycarbonate-based passport or ID card data page, and opens new possibilities for secure, integrated designs. The solution offers
- absolutely seamless design integration of the security feature with the print design of the document
- storytelling concept in the feature design to support an extremely intuitive and self-explanatory document inspection
- protection of the entire data page, including the photograph and all personal information of the document holder
Below, explore our KINEGRAM PCI with FDP sample documents, and see how the Full Data Protection concept brings together complex technologies and translates them into simple, memorable stories!

An Amazing Journey
This KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP) sample uses a mountain train ride as the central design narrative. The document’s portrait orientation, rather than a traditional landscape format, is in line with the latest ICAO TD1 specifications for large portraits in identity documents.
The “An Amazing Journey” sample highlights how large portraits in modern identity documents help create a highly secure and visually engaging ID document that supports easy identity verification.
The KINEGRAM feature in this sample document is realized with a special laserable technology, enabling the creation of partially metallized photo protection for portraits in polycarbonate documents. This is otherwise impossible – as a standard rule, DOVIDs for polycarbonate documents must normally be fully transparent in the area of the photograph. Laserable KINEGRAM features overcome this limitation.
Benefits of this KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection:
- Improved identity verification through securely protected large portrait
- Enhanced photo protection through laserable KINEGRAM
Clever integration of the full-surface security feature and the document’s security print creates harmonious designs.

Koi in the Pond
This KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP) sample features precious koi carps as the main motif and further explores the “Big is more secure” principle. Like the “An Amazing Journey” sample, it uses portrait orientation, in line with ICAO’s specifications, creating more space for the portrait and a modern optical security concept.
The “Koi in the Pond” sample explores how large portraits on documents allow more accurate and more reliable authentication, while the KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection adds maximum security.
The portrait orientation enables the inclusion of a 2D barcode as an additional digital security and authentication feature. One example for this is the Visible Digital Seal, an ICAO-specified 2D barcode that adds robust digital security to physical identity documents. OVD Kinegram has enhanced the VDS concept with VDS Bio, a secure solution that can include biometric data of the document holder.
Benefits of this KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection:
- Comprehensive security concept for large portraits
- Inclusion of 2D barcodes for added digital security and verification
Voices of Africa
This KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP) sample is inspired by traditional African motifs. Vibrant masks, a sacred dance, the strong and resilient crocodile and the wise tortoise create a rich tapestry of visual elements and underlying security effects. The intriguing motifs invite closer inspection and movement, hence enabling intuitive document verification.
The “Voices of Africa” sample demonstrates inherent storytelling and advanced optical security effects. The KINEGRM feature in this sample document is an integral part of the design language, making the document visually distinctive while supporting professional authentication.
Benefits of this KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection:
- Highly individual design, supporting national or thematic identities
- Seamless integration with the document print for intuitive verification
Who Stole the Honey
This KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP) sample turns the data page into a playful investigation: a bear has stolen honey from a beehive, and its paw prints appear across the data page – naturally protecting important personalized data such as the dates of issue and expiry. As the bear shook the tree and pulled on the branches, leaves fell around him. Following the footprints, we find the bear as he is licking up some spilled honey.
The “Who Stole the Honey” sample is a prime example for an integrated security design naturally guiding the document inspector’s eye to the optical security effects for verifying the document’s authenticity. The KINEGRAM feature in this sample document, together with the security print, make the authentication flow easy to understand and remember.
Benefits of this KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection:
- Highly intuitive document checks through easy-to-remember visual story
- Naturally integrated design that is easy to communicate, but hard to copy

Highly Secure Secondary Images for Passports and ID Cards with KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH
The innovative KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH solution was developed as a protection for secondary portraits in passports or other identity documents. Together with additional personalization options, this new solution turns secondary portraits into highly secure features in their own right.
Secondary images typically serve as an additional reference for facial comparisons between a document and the person presenting it for inspection. While they have become an established feature of passports and ID cards, safeguarding secondary portraits against alteration and manipulation attacks is often neglected - however, highly important, as secondary portraits with no inherent security component are prone to criminal attacks. Together with their rather small size, they are a target of fraudulent attacks, for example through photo substitution or photo manipulation from the front or back of the document.
KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH is a highly secure solution that will protect secondary portraits against such attacks.

How KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH Protects Secondary Portraits
The KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH solution has been designed to add much-needed security to secondary portraits. The technology allows the creation of a personalized KINEGRAM photo element, which serves as highly secure secondary image and functions as an integral part of an embedded KINEGRAM feature.
Located within a metallized, embedded KINEGRAM patch consisting of two metal layers, the secondary portrait within the KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH element is created during the document personalization, i.e. in the same process step as the primary portrait. The resulting personalized feature can exhibit an optical security effect.
Benefits of KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH for Secondary Images in Passports and ID Cards
KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH enables the creation of highly secure and high-resolution secondary portraits of document holders in a size handy for visual inspection.
KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH secondary portraits can exhibit eye-catching, unique optical security effects from the KINEGRAM portfolio, making them very easy to verify and extremely hard to counterfeit. On top of that, they can be equipped with additional motifs such as national symbols, or personalized information such as the document number or its date of expiry.
The solution complements the document personalization, as KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH elements are created in the same process step. This makes the technology highly useful for document issuers seeking for solutions that are not only highly secure, but also efficient to integrate. Lastly, the technology is extremely hard to counterfeit - most importantly, fraudsters are unable to manipulate or replicate its visual appearance in the same manner as they would use to attack a document's primary image.
KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH allows issuers to create highly distinct and strongly protected secondary portraits, while at the same time making efficient use of the standard laser personalization process for their documents. The innovation is a big step towards higher effectiveness and security.
