Gemalto partnered with the East Timor government to start issuing state-of-the-art electronic passports (ePassports) to its citizens. The complete solution comprises the ICAO-compliant ePassports and a suite of capabilities such as easy enrollment, biometric data capture, de-duplication of redundant biometric information, disaster and data recovery, as well as a full turnkey public key infrastructure and secure issuance of the document.
East Timor, also known as The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, is a country in Southeast Asia and an independent nation since 2002. The local government is investing in modernization to enhance services to its citizens. With Gemalto’s end-to-end solution, authorities can register ePassport applicants, capture their fingerprints at selected offices and embassies and issue travel documents using the latest digital security technologies. The ePassports are made of polycarbonate data pages that are embedded with a secure contactless microprocessor and eTravel software for high-end security and durability. Citizens can enjoy a speedy application process and issuance as well as seamless border crossing.
“We now have the capability to issue a more secure ICAO-compliant ePassport so that our citizens can avoid any inconvenience at the borders,” said Ivo Valente, the minister of justice of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. “East Timor citizens can now travel anywhere around the world, with unprecedented levels of security and privacy.”
