Datacard Group and Datasonic Corporation Sdn Bhd announced that the National Registration Department of Malaysia (JPN) has selected them to upgrade the Malaysian government’s MyKad and MyKid card programs that include multi-purpose smart ID cards.
Datacard Group will assist Datasonic Corporation, who is the primary contract holder for this project, to supply Datacard MX6000 Card Issuance Systems with laser engraving modules, as well as Datacard CP80 Plus Card Printers that will be placed at branches nationwide.
By utilizing the Datacard solutions, JPN will be able to issue Malaysian citizens the multi-purpose MyKad and MyKid cards that include the national ID, driver’s licenses, ATM card, health care data, etc.
To help meet the requirements for the Government of Malaysia, Datacard configured the MX6000 card issuance system to include a laser-engraving module that personalizes all the cardholder information, variable-sized photos, alphanumeric text, bar codes, black-and-white logos and other graphical elements for increased card security. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/governmentidnews-4.gif)
