Gemalto solution powers a unified national registry for Oman's identity documents
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, March 17, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, announces that the Royal Oman Police is deploying
its Coesys Document Management System to create a single, unified registration
infrastructure across all the Sultanate's identity documents. The new system
will initially apply to Oman's well-established national eID card as well as the
ePassport officially launched on January 15, 2015, both of which are supplied by
Gemalto. Pairing both documents will streamline the enrollment process,
delivering considerable benefits for the Royal Oman Police and its citizens
alike.
When applying for the new ePassport, Omani citizens do not need to go through
the entire enrollment process, as the personal data provided for the eID is
already stored in the national registry and can be reused. Cross-referencing
between eIDs and ePassports adds an extra layer of security and strengthens
collaboration with international authorities.
"Having successfully deployed some key national programs in Oman, Gemalto was
uniquely positioned to create a unified solution for them," said Major General
Sulaiman Al-Harthy, Assistant Inspector General for the Royal Oman Police. "This
new project extends our long-standing relationship with Gemalto reaching back in
2002, adding a 'full solutions and services' dimension."
"This new deployment reflects the country's full commitment to constantly
delivering the benefits of modern IT in the public realm," added Hisham Surakhi,
Senior Vice President of Government Programs for the Middle East at Gemalto.
"The launch of the ePassport could also be a stepping stone to future innovative
solutions such as e-border management and eGates."
