This pertains to the production of Yukon government identification cards, specifically the driver's licenses and the general identification cards (GICs), issued by the Department of Highways and Public Works (HPW), Transit Services, Motor Vehicles Branch. GICs are issued if the individual does not have authorization for a Drivers License.
Veridos will replace the outdated card printing technology currently used by HPW as it no longer meets the updates security standards required for government identification. The outdated process includes in-house printing and laminated-based security. Current security standards across North America are for a laser engraved polycarbonate ID card, which is not producible by HPW independently. By partnering with Veridos, the Yukon Government aims to establish a reliable, high-security card printing service and improve the security, integrity, and overall quality of Yukon government-issued credentials.
