GOVERNMENT ID & ACCESS Cards

KoRoad South Korea Drivers License

Enhancing Driver’s License Security with SMART-70 Series Printers – KoROAD, South Korea’s leading public corporation for road and highway management, also oversees traffic safety, driver education, and the country’s driver’s license system. With 13 branch offices and 27 driver’s license test centers nationwide, KoROAD plays a crucial role in ensuring road safety and efficient license issuance.

The Challenge: Strengthening Security & Reducing Fraud – KoROAD faced a critical challenge—enhancing the security of driver’s licenses to prevent counterfeiting and fraud. To achieve this, they required a multi-factor security solution and high-quality printing technology to safeguard against forgery.

The Solution: Upgrading to SMART-70 Series Printers – To address these concerns, KoROAD implemented a plan to modernize its licensing process by replacing outdated printers with more reliable, high-performance units. By decentralizing production to its branch offices and incorporating English text on the backside of the license for international recognition, they enhanced both security and usability.

The SMART-70 series license card printers were the ideal choice due to their:

  • Advanced security features to prevent counterfeiting
  • High-resolution print quality for enhanced card durability
  • User-friendly maintenance for seamless operation
  • Large-capacity design to handle high-volume printing needs

By adopting the SMART-70 series, KoROAD significantly improved the integrity and global recognition of South Korea’s driver’s licenses, ensuring a safer and more secure system for all.

Mexico Yucatan State Drivers License

Revolutionizing Driver’s License Issuance in Yucatán, Mexico – The Yucatán Mexico Driving License Project serves multiple municipalities, including Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, José María Morelos, Bacalar, and Lázaro Cárdenas. These regions faced significant challenges with their previous license card printing systems due to overheating issues, frequent card rejections, and rising costs.

The Challenge: Unreliable Printing & Security Concerns – Municipalities were frustrated with constant equipment failures and defective supplies, leading to wasted materials, operational delays, and increased expenses. Additionally, there was a growing need to enhance holographic security features to combat counterfeiting.

The Solution: SMART-51L with Custom Security Lamination – After evaluating multiple options, officials selected the SMART-51L for its stable lamination technology, reliability, and high-quality output. Working closely with IDP and its dealer, they also developed a custom holographic security laminate to enhance the integrity of their driver’s licenses.

The Results:

  • 95% reduction in card rejection rates
  • 100% improvement in operational efficiency & user satisfaction
  • Enhanced holographic security for greater fraud prevention

By transitioning to the SMART-51L, Yucatán’s municipalities have successfully modernized their driver’s license issuance process, ensuring greater security, efficiency, and cost savings for years to come.

US Government Common Access Card

SMART-51L: Enhancing Security & Efficiency for U.S. Government CAC Cards. Common Access Cards (CAC) are secure identification cards used by U.S. government employees for access control, logical access, and authentication. Following the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush introduced Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), establishing strict standards for a unified government-issued photo ID to enhance security across federal agencies.

The Challenge: Inconsistent Quality & Costly Maintenance – Government agencies relied on multiple photo ID card printers from various manufacturers to produce CAC cards. This led to inconsistent card quality, unreliable hardware, and expensive service contracts, creating inefficiencies across departments.

The Solution: SMART-51L Laminating Card Printer – To address these issues, government integrators turned to IDP for a more reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance solution. The SMART-51L was rigorously evaluated over two years, surpassing expectations in ease of use, reliability, and consistent card production quality. As a result, it has been deployed to replace hundreds of legacy units across multiple agencies.

Why Agencies Choose the SMART-51L:

  • High-quality, secure card printing for improved durability
  • Advanced lamination technology to prevent tampering & fraud
  • User-friendly design for seamless operation & maintenance
  • Cost-efficient performance reducing long-term operational expenses

With the SMART-51L, U.S. government agencies now benefit from enhanced security, streamlined card production, and lower maintenance costs, ensuring compliance with HSPD-12 standards.
