The Datacard PB6500 passport issuance system is utilized for the central issuance of the Colombian citizens’ passports. It is an automated, inline high-volume passport production system offering a flexible, modular design. This enables the government to start with the most cost-effective configuration for their program and incorporate new technologies as they become available and as needs change.
The Colombian government is utilizing a modular configuration that includes a vision verification module and laser engraving to personalize the polycarbonate data page on each passport. Laser engraving enables “Security at the Time of Personalization,” by adding key identification and security elements to making it challenging for counterfeiters.
