Veridos delivers next generation ePassport for Kenya
Our new ePassport for Kenya is a tasteful combination of tradition and modernity, all paired with the highest level security features to ensure the most counterfeit-proof travel document.
A next-level ePassport
Veridos is proud to unveil a transformative project in Kenya, a nation where cultural heritage and technological innovation converge. Introducing the third-generation ePassport, this advanced digital identity solution is set to redefine the standards of secure identification. By embedding ancestral wisdom within modern technology, Kenya exemplifies the seamless integration of tradition and progress.
Unmatched Security Features
To ensure the highest level of document integrity and fraud resistance, Veridos equipped Kenya’s new ePassport with a comprehensive suite of next-generation security features. Each element was carefully selected and customized to meet both international standards and the unique identity needs of the Republic of Kenya.
- CLIP ID: A high-resolution color image embedded into the polycarbonate data page using laser technology. This technique ensures the portrait is vivid, tamper-proof, and durable over time.
- Magic ID: An optically variable security element that produces striking visual effects depending on the viewing angle—making counterfeiting attempts both detectable and highly difficult.
- Customized Photorealistic UV Images: These invisible images are visible only under UV light and replicate key national symbols and the holder’s portrait, providing an additional layer of covert verification.
- DOVID Patches: Diffractive Optical Variable Image Devices (DOVIDs) deliver complex holographic effects that are easy for authorities to inspect but nearly impossible to forge.
- Spectre ID: A cutting-edge dynamic visual feature that reveals a motion-like effect when the document is tilted. Spectre ID enhances immediate visual authentication while incorporating Kenyan identity motifs.
- Hinge Technology: Veridos’ specialized hinge solution secures the polycarbonate data page with exceptional flexibility and durability. The hinge incorporates visible and UV fluorescent ink printing, creating a highly customized and tamper-evident element that effectively prevents any unauthorized attempts to replace or manipulate the data page.
Together, these features provide a multilayered defense system, making Kenya’s ePassport one of the most secure travel documents on the continent while preserving national identity and ease of verification.
