Firstly, I think that the most important development with respect to fraud is the contactless process, from application right through to the issuing of the card. There are a range of security features that will be on the card. For example, the card can't be interfered with by human hand because if you do, that would essentially destroy the card. The picture of the applicant is laser-printed onto the card, unlike the current green ID book, where you can actually lift the cellophane wrap, remove a picture and insert someone else's picture. With a laser-printed card you cannot effect a change to the person whose picture appears on the card.
Secondly, the current ID document does not contain your unique biometric features, particularly your fingerprints, which will now be on the chip and will be incorporated into the card. I do not want to go into all the features, but it is a multilayered card. I think the key point is that all individuals will have to present themselves for live capture. We think that the application process will take 15 to 20 minutes and that we will be able to issue the card within five to nine days.
I believe that the security features are of a world-class standard, does address some of the constraints that we have experienced in the past and really gives us a card that is going to be very hard to duplicate. You will have to buy all those personalisation machines - which are huge machines - to be able to have the process that we will have in place with respect to the production of the cards.
