ID & Secure Documents

Identity documents sit at the intersection of security engineering, biometrics and government policy. Reconnaissance International has tracked this market since our founding in 1988, following the full lifecycle of ePassports, national ID cards, visas and other secure credentials — from document design and security feature selection through to issuance, personalisation and border deployment — for governments, printers, technology suppliers and system integrators worldwide.

ID & Secure Document News is our dedicated title for the sector, covering ePassport programmes, national ID rollouts, biometric credentials and the security features designed to keep them safe from counterfeiting and fraud. It is the publication issuers and their supply chains turn to for programme news, technology developments and market analysis.

We bring the identity document community together through our own conference portfolio — including the Security Designers Forum, Optical & Digital Document Security and our High Security Printing series across Asia, EMEA and the Americas — plus specialist forums covering the design, production and authentication challenges facing document issuers today.

Where clients need more than news, our consultancy team draws on the same first-hand knowledge that underpins our publications and events to provide market research, competitive intelligence and government advisory work for document issuers, printers and technology providers.
