Requirements: 

 

Implement a centralized 
issuance system, with 100 
decentralized data capture 
centres, to issue personal 
documentation including 
passport, national ID and 
driver’s license - The 
integration of the new 
system required a 
seamless transition with 
no interruption to the 
production of the former 
document issuance 
system. 

 

Solution: 

 

• 

The data is captured at 
100 local issuing offices 
using a standard office 
set-up comprising of 
servers, personal 
computers, scanners, 
printers, network switch 
equipment, and 
standard software. 

• 

The data is transferred 
to a centralized 
database. 

• 

Depending on the format 
and design required, the 
ID documents are issued 
from a centralized 
production site using 
Datacard® DCL30 and 
Datacard® DPL40 laser 
engraving systems. 

• 

Customized application 
software ensures the 
execution, accounting, 
and control of 
producing, issuing and 
replacing personal 
documents. 

 

The Competitive Edge: 

 

The established reputation 
of Datacard’s high-
resolution laser engraving 
technology solution was 
selected by the 
Government for its 
advantages over 
competitive products. 
 

Confronted with quality 
issues regarding the 
current paper laminated 
ID documents, the 
Government agency for 
Lithuania issued a tender 
requesting a solution for 
the issuance of ID 
documents that would 
modify, extend, or replace 
the current automated 
personal documentation 
issuing system (ADIS).  
 
The solution, based on the 
collection of decentralized 
data from 100 locations 
throughout Lithuania, 
allows the documents to 
be issued from multiple 
centralized locations. In 
addition, the 
implementation of the new 
system required a 
seamless transition with 
no interruption on the 
operation of the former 
document issuance 
system (ADIS). 
 

Secure ID Documents 

Giesecke & Devrient was 
appointed by the 
government to manage the 
project using Datacard’s 
laser engraving systems to 
issue several personal 
documents planned over 
the next three 
years:1,000,000 Passports 
of the Republic of 
Lithuania 

• 

10,000 Service

conformity with the 
European Union 
standards and ICAO 
recommendations.
