Gemalto and the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) have been chosen to produce secure health insurance cards for the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ). RAMQ delivers 2.3 million healthcare cards to citizens, and the SAAQ provides 1.7 million driver’s license and identity cards through production with Gemalto.
 
By choosing the SAAQ and its existing contract with Gemalto, the Quebec healthcare authorities can avoid duplication and promote sharing of expertise between agencies. Gemalto’s secure card will be the first of its kind to undergo embossing and laser engraving at the same time.
 
“The unique opportunity to provide both healthcare cards and driver’s licenses is perfectly suited to Gemalto’s expertise with over twenty years of issuing secure documents. Being the first to emboss and engrave at the same time provides more options to our customers who have legacy infrastructures for validation and allows us to provide a lower risk of fraud and stronger, longer lasting cards to residents,” said Steve Purdy, VP of state and provincial government programs, Gemalto.
