Applications and Markets
What are the applications for ID cards?
An identity document verifies aspects of a person’s personal
identity. Worldwide, standard-size ID cards are issued by governments,
companies, financial institutions, and other organizations as a way to
authenticate “who is who” and “who is where”.
ID cards may contain a person’s photo and personal information, and
a logo or information about the organization who issues the card.
Information and data encoded on chips, magnetic stripes and bar codes
integrated into the card can be read by readers and scanners to further
verify the identity of the person.
