Addressing the growing challenges of counterfeit identity documents, data tampering, and identity theft, IDEMIA Smart Identity has unveiled IDQR, a new security feature that combines the reliability of physical security features with the versatility of digital technology. First presented at High Security Printing Asia, a pioneer industry event in Bangkok, IDQR ensures data authenticity and tamper-proof protection.

IDQR is a laser-engraved QR code permanently embedded during the personalisation process within a polycarbonate document. The QR code includes a full-colour photo of the identity document holder and the biographical information. The full dataset is digitally signed by the issuing country, guaranteeing the data integrity.
