LaserCard Awarded Saudi Arabia National ID Card Program

LaserCard, a provider of secure ID solutions, has received follow-on purchase orders valued at approximately US$2.1 million for chip-ready, optical security media-based credentials for the Saudi Arabia National ID Card program.

The ID cards are issued to Saudi citizens nationwide for identification, e-government and regional travel purposes.

“The Saudi Arabian program provides protection and functionality, and enables citizens to benefit from credentials using ID technology acknowledged as among the most secure available today,” said Robert DeVincenzi, President and CEO of LaserCard.

LaserCard’s ID credentials are trusted by governments to protect the personal identification of their citizens, foreign residents and government employees, and to provide official documentation such as driver licenses and vehicle registration cards.
