It’s the central component of an Identity document- a person’s picture. And as such, it is the most attacked feature. This means, ensuring protection against attacks, alteration or counterfeiting is essential to ensure it remains a trusted and secure document.
Documenting a person’s likeness in color on an ID card makes any fraudulent use more difficult, and authentication simpler. This is because the nuances of flesh tones are more easily registered by the eye than the hues of grayscale.

In this presentation, IDEMIA will explore the importance and value of color portraits in ID documents and the value of LASINK™ laser engraving technology to produce high-quality color portraits on polycarbonate ID credentials, including in DOVID or transparent windows.

We will also examine how LASINK™ Origin has been leveraged in countries such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Latvia and Morocco to protect citizens from impersonation or fraudulent activity with their identity documents..
