HID Global® Wins Ireland Passport Contract

HID Global, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, has been awarded a contract by Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for its Passport Issuance and Processing System. The contract will see HID Global provide a new operating system for the Department’s Passport Service.

The system is based around HID Global’s HID Integrale™ software system, which makes the management of applications easier and more efficient by providing a citizen-centric case management solution connected to all services for the issuing of passports and related documents.

The DFA is partnering with HID Global to deliver a more modern and efficient passport service for Irish citizens. Over the past number of years, the Passport Service had delivered significant change through the Passport Reform Programme, and HID Global’s aim is to upgrade and replace the current Passport Service operating system.
