Gemalto is partnering with Veridos, a German company specializing in identity solutions, to supply contactless electronic ​identity cards (eIDs) to the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government. Under the collaboration, Gemalto is the subcontractor responsible for providing the physical cards, enhanced with security features and seamlessly inc​orporating Veridos’ operating system software solution.
 
The new Macao eID cards are effective at mitigating fraud and counterfeiting activities. They are made from tamper-proof polycarbonate material, and incorporate two innovative security ID featur​​es from Gemalto: Window Lock and True Vision. These allow the authorities to verify the cards’ authenticity with the naked eye and under a UV light.
 
Macao is one of the world’s top 20 tourist destinations. In addition to its own population of 600,000, Macao attracts an average of 2.5 million international visitors on a monthly basis. This places a greater emphasis on identity management and enforcement. With the widespread proliferation of internet connectivity and mobile devices globally, identity fraud and theft have been on the rise and need addressing urgently.
 
“Using the contactless eID cards, Macao citizens can now enjoy a secure and hassle-free ‘tap and go’ experience, thanks to the high security features, tamper-proof ID design, and contactless capability,” said Fernando Dal Zotto, SVP of Government Programs at Gemalto.
