adminThe company, part of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed Allied Technologies Limited Altech will provide the Government Printing Works with card personalisation equipment as part of the Department of Home Affairs smart identity card programme.
Derek Chaplin, managing director of Altech Card Solutions, said the company will be working with the Government Printing Works to provide the equipment and expertise for the personalisation of the smart identity cards which will replace the green bar-coded identity books.
The equipment will enable the Government Printing Works to laser engrave the card owner’s photograph and other details onto the card in addition to ensuring that the card holder’s details are securely stored on the card’s microchip. This will eliminate the production and use of fraudulent IDs. — CAJ News.
