HID Global announced it has delivered a redesigned ePassport booklet and document issuance software to Estonia's Police and Border Guard Board.

"HID is proud to meet the rigorous quality and technical ePassport specifications required by the government of Estonia, which is widely renowned for providing high-caliber electronic identity documents and services to its citizens," said Craig Sandness, Senior Vice President and Head of Secure Issuance and Citizen ID Solutions.

"The new booklets and supporting software solution simultaneously enhance the country's ePassport document with industry-leading security features, while capturing the essence of Estonia's national identity."

Document holders benefit from various forward-looking features included in Estonia's unique and improved ePassport.

The document's polycarbonate datapage incorporates optically variable inks, two laser images and a window in the shape of Estonia for strong protection against fraud.

"Estonia took a significant step forward with the new passport project, introducing the identity document which binds the history, present and future of Estonia as a cohesive design and tells the story of Estonia in the world," said Eliisa Sau, chief expert of the PPA Identity and Status Bureau.
