Advancing to a Safe Tomorrow - Manufacturing of Austrian Passports, Driving Permits, and More
In a significant development, Austrian Website GmbH (OeSD) has cemented its position as a leading provider of secure identity solutions and digital services on the global stage. The company, which plays a crucial role in the production and protection of Austria's official identity documents, passports, and digital identity solutions, has achieved notable successes.
OeSD's responsibilities extend beyond the production of physical identity documents. The company integrates cutting-edge security technologies, such as biometric data inclusion, cryptographic features, and secure materials, to enhance the authenticity and integrity of these documents. Furthermore, OeSD develops and supports Austria’s digital identity platforms, enabling secure citizen-government interactions in the digital realm.
One of OeSD's most significant achievements is the award of the pan-European tender for Austrian ID documents. This accolade underscores the company's commitment to compliance with international standards, such as ICAO for passports, while innovating to meet evolving security challenges in identity verification.
The company's success has also been reflected in its increased export share and strengthened position as an innovative quality provider on the international market. A prime example of this is the contract awarded to OeSD's digital subsidiary, youniqx Identity AG, for implementing the MIA ("MyIdentityApp") in Liechtenstein. This digital identity solution allows individuals, companies, and states to handle digital identity matters efficiently.
As a result, Liechtenstein citizens can now manage administrative procedures digitally, enhancing convenience and security. For OeSD CEO Lukas Praml, this contract award is clear validation of the company's quality and digitalization strategy.
OeSD's digital services include video identity verification "MICK" and blockchain security solution "chainlock". These innovative offerings underscore the company's commitment to staying at the forefront of digital identity solutions.
The production and personalization of Austrian ID documents and passports will continue to take place in Austria, specifically in the high-security zone of the Austrian state printing office in Vienna. This ensures that citizens' sensitive information remains securely within Austria's borders.
CEO Praml expressed his delight with the news, viewing it as a strong boost for Austria as a business location. He also affirmed that this is great news for the company's dedicated employees as they start the new year. Praml believes OeSD is well-positioned in the digital identity sector: "Digital identity is a reality for us."
In summary, OeSD's achievements in the realm of identity solutions and digital services have solidified its position as a leading player on the international stage. The company's commitment to innovation, quality, and security is evident in its various offerings, from secure identity documents to digital identity solutions like MIA eID and MICK.
