From modern passport production and personalisation to innovative ID cards up to visa products. Experience the combination of more than 220 years in high security printing together with modern and innovative digital ID solutions.
Enrolment and Personalisation solutions
OSDs detailed understanding of public administrations special needs and processes helps us in developing tailor-made identity solutions for our customers, coming mainly from the public sector.
The enrolment module is based on an integrated and modular architecture non dependant on specific hardware, making it easy to add and adapt system components. Enrolment can also capture faces with real-time quality analysis and compliance testing against ICAO requirements as well as biometric fingerprints in slap scanning mode (4-4-2) or in solo mode (single finger) according to the NIST standard. Iris capture and capture of signature is also possible.
The heart of personalisation by OSD is the specially developed personalisation software PIA - Personalisation In Action: It enables the issuance of all ICAO documents, whether card, visa or passport by means of inkjet printing or laser engraving. PIA is modular and contains all aspects of issuance in its full scope, such as data management, vetting, AFIS/ABIS check, pre-perso, issuance, and quality assurance.
MIA – My Identity App
My Identity App (MIA) is a state-of-the-art identity management solution based on a highly secure, innovative approach. It combines traditionally printed ID documents and electronic identities (eID) in a secure and user-friendly smartphone app, and supports states on their way to digitalisation. The internationally award-winning solution combines security with data protection and user-friendliness.

IDA – ID Authentication app
Modern ID documents only protect the personal identity if they can be checked easily and securely. Unfortunately, many citizens have no knowledge of the security features on their ID documents or how to check them. That is why OSD developed “IDA”, the “Identity Authentication” app.
IDA is an easy tool to check supported ID documents digitally via smartphone. With IDA, citizens can check specific QR-codes printed on their personal ID documents with the camera of their smartphones. The digitally signed QR-code contains the personal data of the ID card holder and can be compared to the personal data of the physical document. Additionally, IDA helps citizens to check the most important security features via an easy step-by-step guide within the app. In combination, IDA empowers all citizens to verify any supported ID document quickly. For further information on IDA, contact us anytime.
