Secure national ID cards Secure national ID cards ​Many countries are now upgrading their national documents and rolling out government-issued IDs in the form of a credit card. These new ID documents are including high-security printing features to deter fraud. Polycarbonate as a material of choice Polycarbonate is an increasingly popular choice for many ID programs around the world, as it significantly enhances the level of ID document security.​ We explain in detail what sets polycarbonate​ apart from other materials and why its layered structure is also ideally suited to the deployment of security features in our 2019 web dossier.​​ A digital identity for each citizen These National ID programs are also the opportunity to create a secure digital identity for each cardholder. These secure electronic identity cards generally referred to as eID cards or simply eID's are opening the gate to secure and trusted online services.
