However, this requires fast, reliable

personal identification and verifi­

cation. Border control agents, for

example, have to clear more travel­

ers through checkpoints than ever

before. In e­voting, voter identi­

fication is essential to preventing

electoral fraud. Furthermore, in

e­government processes, authorities

must be able to quickly verify citi­

zens‘ identities beyond a doubt.

In short, security remains a major

concern in all areas of public life,

both nationally and internationally.

The Challenge

Governments thus face a major

challenge: to reliably identify citi­

zens and travelers and effectively

protect them from the threat of

identity theft and fraud.

Luckily, they can draw on a wide

variety of identity protection prod­

ucts, systems, and solutions – from

long­lived counterfeit­proof identity

documents and highly secure systems

for handling personal data and

biometrics to efficient applications

for e­government, border control,

and e­voting.

Governments need reliable partners

in order to acquire secure identity

documents and solutions that are fit

for global use. Document develop­

ment, production, personalization,

issuance, and verification as well as

secure identity management require

decades of experience, profound

technological and logistics know­

how, and close familiarity with

government processes.

The Solution

Very few companies fit this profile

well enough to globally supply

secure identity documents and the

systems and solutions required to

manage them.

Veridos combines the deep experi­

ence of two highly regarded special­

ists for secure government solutions:

Bundesdruckerei GmbH and Giesecke

& Devrient GmbH – both well known

for their extensive technological

expertise and a well­established

position on the global stage.

Veridos is a versatile, reliable

one­stop supplier of dependable,

high­performance ID solutions –

from personalized documents

such as passports, ID cards, driver‘s

licenses, and healthcare cards to

end­to­end system solutions for

data acquisition, personalization,

and issuance to verification, border

control, authentication, and mobile

e­government.

Personal identity in a globalized worldToday‘s globalized world is fast, mobile, and highly

virtualized. We now expect access to everything

anytime, anywhere.

Veridos is a joint venture between

two of Germany‘s best­known pro­

viders of secure government solu­

tions. Berlin­based Bundesdruckerei

GmbH and Munich­based Giesecke

& Devrient GmbH have joined forces

to create a high­powered company

that specializes in developing, de­

signing, producing, and implement­

ing future­proof ID system solutions.

Veridos has around 400 employees

in Berlin and Munich and at its

international subsidiaries. Its pro­

duction activities draw deeply on

the capabilities of both parent

companies. Passports and ID docu­

ments are made at various Veridos

plants worldwide.

Successful Collaboration

Bundesdruckerei GmbH and Giesecke

& Devrient GmbH successfully colla­

borated on several national and

international projects long before

establishing Veridos GmbH. Giesecke

& Devrient GmbH, for example,

supplies the electronic components

for German personal ID cards, while

Bundesdruckerei produces and per­

sonalizes the cards.
