Identity & Biometric Solutions
We believe in a safer and more sustainable world where everyone has access to a secure, trusted identity.
To support this vision, Thales delivers identity and biometric solutions to governments, public authorities, and private entities in civil identity and public security.
​
We do this by providing highly secure documents, such as passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses, etc., at the heart of identity schemes.
​
We also provide solutions for verifying people’s identities, for example, when they cross borders and enrolling them in national registers. Both of these are built on our expertise in biometrics.
​
And, as governments go through a digital transformation, we support them by delivering secure, convenient, and feature-proof mobile identity, digital identity wallet, platform, and services.
​
We also address public security and law enforcement challenges by offering the latest in criminal forensics and real-time facial recognition.
​
Our identity and biometric solutions for Government are sold by Thales, our Digital Security business.
