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
passports
• 10,000 Foreigners’
passports
• 1,500,000 Identity cards
for the Republic of
Lithuania

All personal documents
issued will be in
conformity with the
European Union
standards and ICAO
recommendations.
Datacard Laser
Personalization Systems
Datacard’s advanced
personalization technology
was selected by the
Government in order to
produce a secure and
durable polycarbonate

Datacard’s DPL40
Passport Personalization
System and DCL30 Card
