LaserCard Receives Follow-on Order for Saudi Arabia ID Card Program

LaserCard Corporation has received follow-on purchase orders valued at approximately $2.1 million for chip-ready, optical security media-based credentials for the Saudi Arabia National ID Card program. Delivery is scheduled to begin this quarter and be completed in the current fiscal year.

The ID cards are issued to Saudi citizens nationwide for identification, e-government and regional travel purposes.

“The Saudi Arabian program provides world-class protection and functionality, and enables citizens to benefit from credentials using ID technology acknowledged as among the most advanced and secure available today,” said Robert DeVincenzi, president and CEO of LaserCard.

LaserCard’s ID credentials are trusted by governments to protect the personal identification of their citizens, foreign residents and government employees, and to provide official documentation such as driver licenses and vehicle registration cards.
