A System for Issuing and Providing Electronic Passports in the Republic of Peru
IN Groupe and THALES (formerly Gemalto) consortium designed the new Peruvian biometric passport and rolled out the full issuing system beginning in 2016.
The objective was twofold: to launch a highly secure passport and to set up a decentralised document issuing system.
This passport presents strong security features such as: exclusive watermarks, micro-letters, inlays and UV, iridescent and secure inks. Twenty-three sites throughout the country carry out the procedures for enrolment, personalisation and instant issuing of passports. This passport received the ‘Best ID Document’ award at the 2016 High Security Latin America congress.
Client needs
Develop a secure, fast and reliable solution:
- Have a system for issuing biometric, secure and reliable passports to facilitate the mobility of Peruvian citizens and to combat identity fraud.

IN Groupe's response
IN Groupe and THALES (formerly Gemalto) have deployed the enrolment and issuing system at 23 sites in Peru.
The consortium ensures the secure management of enrolment data, which is based on:

An Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), ePassport personalisation, the implementation of an emergency data centre and quality management and access control for the entire document ecosystem.
-
IN Groupe has designed and manufactured biometric passports with more than 80 security features.
-
IN Groupe and THALES (formerly Gemalto) have also trained the employees of the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones on operating and managing workstations, on the AFIS system and passport personalisation and on maintenance.
Client benefits
