One Card, Multiple Purposes
A well-designed ID card does more than confirm identity. It enables access to public services, supports law enforcement verification, and provides a trusted credential citizens carry throughout their lives.
ID Cards.Your Citizens and Institutions Can Trust.
An ID card is the most used document a government issues. It opens bank accounts, accesses public services, crosses borders, and proves identity thousands of times over its lifetime.
Why It Matters
Why ID Cards Still Matter
Verification That Works Anywhere
Whether checked at a border, a police stop, or a service counter, ID cards need to perform reliably across every environment. Machine-readable zones, chips, and biometric data give officers multiple ways to verify in seconds.
Protection Against a Growing Threat
Identity fraud is increasing across every region. Physical and digital security features work together to make cards resistant to alteration, cloning, and counterfeiting throughout their full validity period.
Programme Portfolio
Built for Every Identity Programme
TOPPAN Security works with governments to design and manufacture identity cards that meet international standards while reflecting each country’s specific requirements and national identity.
National ID Card
A polycarbonate identity card carrying biometric and personal data, designed for nationwide issuance and everyday verification across public and private services.
Driver’s License
A durable, fraud-resistant credential built to ISO 18013 standards, combining laser-engraved personalisation with overt and covert security features for roadside and institutional verification.
Resident Permit
A secure credential for non-citizen residents, engineered to the same standards as national identity documents and compatible with border control and public service verification systems.
Component Supply
Individual components supplied to national printers and partners that manufacture their own cards.
Passport Card
A passport card is a secure, credit card-sized travel and identity document that offers a compact and durable alternative to the traditional passport booklet for approved travel and identification purposes. Despite its small format, it can incorporate advanced security features such as laser engraving, transparent windows, optically variable elements, and embedded electronic chips to provide robust protection and reliable identity verification.
