IN Groupe, a world-renowned expert in the design and supply of secure identification solutions, and ACNUR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Peru, have been honored with the prestigious "Best Legal Travel Document 2024" award at the High Security Printing trade show held in Santiago, Chile from June 3 to 5, 2024. The award, presented in collaboration with Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones, recognizes the innovation and excellence of the new biometric resident card developed for all foreign nationals residing in Peru.
The groundbreaking resident card, a result of the collaboration between IN Groupe and ACNUR, boasts the latest generation security features and complies with ICAO international standards. The card was acclaimed for its significant advancements in fraud protection, durability, and practicality, making it one of the most technologically advanced cards on the Latin American continent. This recognition marks the second time IN Groupe has been honored at the High Security Printing show, having previously won the award for the best legal travel document in Peru in 2016, solidifying the company's position as a global leader in secure identification solutions.
The new Peruvian resident card incorporates a highly secure microchip that contains the biographical and biometric data of every foreign national in the country, along with an electronic signature that irrefutably establishes the link with the card-issuing authority. Manufactured using polycarbonate, the card offers exceptional resistance to Peru's climatic conditions and hazards, ensuring a minimum lifespan of ten years. The card's transparent edge, which requires advanced technology for its production, makes it a document that is difficult to falsify while facilitating rapid and effective visual control. Additionally, a QR code enables simple virtual authentication during identity checks by law enforcement agencies.
This recognition at the High Security Printing 2024 event reinforces IN Groupe's determination to develop increasingly innovative solutions that enable governments to assert their country's sovereignty and ensure the security of their citizens' identity data. The award also highlights IN Groupe's commitment to expanding its presence on the Latin American continent by fostering partnerships with other governments in the region, including Bolivia, Uruguay, and Guatemala.
Mariano LOPEZ, VP Identity Sales LATAM, expressed his gratitude at the award ceremony, stating, "We are very honored to receive this award, which recognizes our commitment to innovation and security. In 2016, IN Groupe had already received the award for the best legal travel document at the HSP trade show in Peru. This new recognition in 2024 therefore confirms the relevance of our strategy and strengthens our position as a world leader in secure identification solutions. We congratulate Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones Peru for this remarkable achievement that illustrates their long-standing involvement in the security of identity in Peru."
IN Groupe's success in developing the new biometric resident card for Peru showcases the company's expertise in creating cutting-edge technologies and secure identity solutions. As governments, businesses, and citizens increasingly require secure identification solutions and digital services, IN Groupe is well-positioned to support their needs and contribute to a safer, more connected world.
The award for the "Best Legal Travel Document 2024" not only recognizes the excellence of the new Peruvian resident card but also serves as a testament to the fruitful collaboration between IN Groupe, ACNUR, and Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones Peru. This partnership demonstrates the importance of international cooperation in addressing the challenges of secure identification and highlights the potential for future collaborations between IN Groupe and other governments in the Latin American region.
