HID Global selected as prime contractor for U.S. “Green Card” Program

HID Global will be responsible for the secure production, delivery and storage of up to two million Green Cards in 2013. The Green Card incorporates state-of-the-art technology to prevent counterfeiting and obstruct tampering, while facilitating quick and accurate authentication of the card. The Green Card is also the world’s first secure ID credential, combining HID Global’s LaserCard optical security media with RFID tags for accelerated border crossing.
HID Global will continue to manufacture the Green Card in conjunction with its expanded responsibilities as the program’s prime contractor. LaserCard Corporation, which was acquired in 2011 by HID Global, played a strategic role in redesigning the card for maximum security and rapid border crossing in 2010.
