Gemalto announced that SAAQ1, Quebec’s driver’s license and vehicle registration authority, has declared Gemalto’s new central issuance facility for driver’s licenses operational. Gemalto’s professional services team worked closely with SAAQ over the past eight months to integrate the central issuance solution into SAAQ’s headquarters. The first cards have been delivered to Quebec drivers as of Sept. 9, 2015.

In addition to providing the Coesys Issuance Solution for central issuance, the multi-year contract with SAAQ also includes a custom designed artwork and the polycarbonate-based driver license, known for its ability to support strong tactile security features. The polycarbonate technology adds security improvements to the document without adding lengthy wait times for Quebec drivers renewing or applying for their driver’s license.

Switching to a polycarbonate driver’s license has two advantages: offering Quebec drivers a more secure form of identity in addition to increased durability of the driver’s license. This also reduces the cost of frequent reissuance and is more convenient for citizens.
