LaserCard Receives Order for Saudi Arabia National ID Programme
LaserCard has received a follow-on purchase order valued at $1.6 million for chip-ready, optical security media-based credentials for the Saudi Arabia national ID card programme.

include the same tamperproof, highly counterfeit-resistant optical security media used in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Green Card program. The digital security of these sophisticated credentials has never been compromised, providing authorities with a key asset in the national security fight against counterfeiting and forgery of vital documents and illegal immigration.
