Citizen identity solutions

Proving who you are is a vital part of every civil society. It helps keep our country secure, establishes entitlement to drive, helps fight ID fraud and reduces identity theft. Our UK factory manufactures the UK Driving License, the UK passport, and the United Kingdom Overseas Territories passports. We also provide document scanners to government and businesses to read these identity documents. Finally, Thales is trialling new ways to securely prove and verify identity digitally.
