The government department manages the issuance of ID cards for residents and non-residents, as well as issuance of vehicle registration IDs. The department chose HID Global for its proven reliability and durable ID card printers/encoders to launch an efficient, robust and secure card issuance solution to provide high-quality ID cards for various requirements.

Cost-effective and secure card issuance

In order to issue a large number of vehicle registration ID cards, drivers licences, and resident and non-resident ID cards at its various locations and in a short period of time, the department was looking for a cost effective, yet highly secure and efficient card issuance solution.

There are a number of key selection criteria for the new solution:

Requirements for the solution included its ability to:

  • Securely print high quality cards in a short period of time
  • Improve levels of customer service and satisfaction
  • Quickly issue a large volume of ID cards
  • Be easily deployed and managed

HID Global was selected as the preferred vendor based on its ability to meet each of the departments’ requirements, but especially for simplifying the issuance of ID cards without compromising on security. HID Global’s secure card issuance solutions also have a proven track record of being the most reliable and sturdy in the marketplace.
