HID recently earned global recognition for its Bahrain ePassport project, clinching several top honors. These include the distinguished London Design Awards, the High Security Printing Award, and the iF Design Award.

“Our design philosophy is centered around seamlessly weaving security into the fabric of the document’s design,” said Craig Sandness, SVP and managing director for citizen identity at HID. “The Bahrain ePassport is a prime example of this approach, where innovation meets artistry. This is not just our success; it’s a shared victory with our Bahraini partners, local artists, and calligraphers. Together, we’ve crafted a document that is as secure as it is symbolic of Bahrain’s rich heritage.”

The Bahrain ePassport, introduced the world’s first document-embedded hashtag, #teambahrain. It’s a symbol of national unity and shows HID’s ability to integrate modern digital elements with traditional security measures.

HID’s work on the Bahrain ePassport has been recognized across several categories in the London Design Awards, including Gold awards in Service Design for Government, Cultural, and Best User Experience categories.

The High Security Printing Award for Best New ePassport for EMEA and the iF Design Award in the Publications and Communications category also validate HID’s skill in creating secure, user-centered design.
