Biometric e-PassportsBioPass©

Protection requirements of travel documents are constantly changing : graphic securities, certification protocols and manufacturing processes.

In this context, Semlex regularly develops and improves its expertise in designing electronic passports.

Our travel documents strictly follow the requirements established by ICAO in doc 9303.

Our travel documents incorporate : – Fingerprints of the traveler – RFID electronic chip storing all the

information of the traveler – Information protection mechanisms

(Bac, eac, Pace, etc.) – 2D barcode – Latest security printing technology

Fiduciary description of a travel documentThe electronic passport and its method of customization are made to incorporate safeguards to protect the document against any fraudulent attack during its validity period. Semlex proposes a complete range of graphic securities to meet the security and international compliance requirements.

Paper security – uV matte paper – Flat table or multi-color watermark – Chemical sensitizers in the paper – Paper with appropriate absorption

capacity and roughness – Invisible fluorescent fibers and/or boards – Visible fluorescent fibers and/or boards – Security thread (integrated or window,

uV) – Adhesive system and/or other

characteristics preventing the sticker from being removed, causing clearly visible damages on the visa and on the passport page

Design, background and text printing – Guilloche patterns in two colors – Rainbow printing – Anti-copy pattern – Micro-printed text – Secured background of the data page,

printed in a design different from the visa pages and other pages of the document

Additional securities – Intaglio printing (one or more colors) – Latent image (intaglio printing) – Double safety pattern – Relief pattern (touch) – Intentional error (ex: spelling mistake)

incorporated in the micro-print – Each visa page is printed with a secured

background design – Touch printing

Safety inksUV fluorescent ink (visible or invisible), reactive inks, optical variable ink (OVI), penetrating numbering ink, ink disappearing under infrared radiation, thermo-chromatic photo chromatic ink, fluorescent ink under infrared radiation.

Biometric CardsBiocard©

National Identity CardsThe various identity cards (electronic ID card, driving license, etc.) that Semlex produces are compliant with international standards for travel documents and technical recommendations of the ICAO.

The ID card serves as a national identity card as well as an access card for services such as e-voting and e-government. The cards are made of polycarbonate with laser engraving and may contain a chip with or without contact.

Features of the cardSize and materialISO 7810 size in ID-1 format : 85.60 × 53.98 mm Durability > 10 years3 possibilities :

– PVC (2-3 years) : strong, durable, waterproof, resistant to chemicals.

– PVC / PETF (5-7 years): impact resistant, excellent chemical resistance.

– PC (Polycarbonate) (7-10 years): solid, resistant to heat, good stability, ideal for laser engraving.

A multitude of graphic securities – Drawings and texts visible under UV light – Optically variable ink (OVI) – Guilloches with the background in two

colors – Rainbow coloring – Banknote style / anti-copy background – Microprint, nano-imprint – Embossing of elements – Fluorescent fibers – Security sheet (hologram or non-

hologram)

Microchip (contact and contactless), security support

– Not remotely accessible – Unalterable : immediate detection of

tampering – Cannot be exchanged or duplicated – Biometric data such as fingerprints

can only be read by legal and certified equipment

– It also includes a certificate for online identification and electronic signature

Additional protectionsKinegram (© Kinegram), tactile surface, UV and Multiple Laser Image (MLI ©).

Possible security measures for the pro-duction and personalization of cards :

– Laser engraved data in the polycarbonate surface

– Centralized or decentralized personalization – Distribution to citizens by biometric

authentication
