HID Global gets Additional  
HID Global has received a follow-on order for the manufacture and supply of U.S. government Permanent Resident Cards, also known as "Green Cards", issued to all legal foreign residents of the United States under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) border security programme.
"The proven security of our multi-technology eID cards contributes directly to the overall security of U.S. immigration and border control. We are proud of our contribution to homeland security through both generations of Green Cards, which are among the most physically secure and counterfeit-resistant, machine-readable IDs ever issued," said Kevin McKenna, Vice-President - Sales, Government ID Solutions, Americas, HID Global.
Governments worldwide are rapidly moving from traditional national IDs to more secure eIDs. Launched in mid-2010, the re-designed, new-generation U.S. Green Card was the world's first ID card to combine HID’s LaserCard optical security media (OSM) technology and an embedded RFID tag with other advanced security features. Customized specifically for USCIS, the optical security media provides extraordinary visual security in an era when 90% of eIDs are still authenticated by the human eye. The RFID tag was incorporated to accelerate legitimate passage at U.S. land borders.
