Government ID Cards

The use of card technology in government is growing beyond the traditional ID cards, drivers licences and military personnel cards, towards new credentials for homeland security, fire, emergency and police services. Government ID projects demand the highest levels of security and card protection. To protect valuable credentials, the use of smart cards to hold and access information is now mandatory, the Magicard Tango +L and Magicard Prima are ideal for this purpose.
