In an age where identity is increasingly digital and threats to national security are more sophisticated than ever, Saudi government agencies must prioritize solutions that not only authenticate citizens and employees with absolute certainty but also defend against forgery, tampering, and data breaches.
From national ID initiatives and residency permits to municipality access badges and ministry-level employee cards, identity systems form the foundation of public sector governance. That’s why many institutions across the Saudi Arabia are turning to Entrust—a global authority in secure ID issuance technology.
Through its partnership with ScreenCheck Saudi, Entrust’s advanced card issuance platforms are now enabling government bodies across KSA to implement secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant identity programs with confidence and clarity.
Identity in Government Is About More Than a Card
In the government sector, an ID is not just a piece of plastic—it’s a gateway to services, security, and trust. Whether it’s a digital access badge, a physical ID with biometric integration, or a multi-use smart card for e-Government access, identity management must be watertight.
Here’s what today’s government departments need from an identity solution:
- Tamper-proof credentials that cannot be replicated
- Rapid issuance to serve the growing population and workforce
- Protection of personal data through end-to-end encryption
- Compatibility with national cybersecurity and civil registry standards
- Seamless integration with biometric, mobile, and cloud systems
Entrust ID issuance systems, available through ScreenCheck Saudi, check every one of these boxes—and more.
Tailored for Saudi Public Sector Needs
Every ministry, municipality, and government authority has its own operational demands. Entrust systems are designed to be modular and adaptable, with secure printers and issuance software that can scale from a single office to a multi-location national project.
For example:
- The Entrust Sigma DS3 is ideal for central card issuance programs like national ID or residency permits, with high-speed dual-sided printing and encoding.
- The Entrust Artista CR805 supports high-resolution printing with visual security features like UV printing, holograms, and retransfer overlays—perfect for high-risk identification needs.
- The Sigma DS1 and DS2 offer cost-effective options for issuing employee IDs, facility access cards, or utility worker credentials across regional government branches.
How Entrust Helps Government Agencies Secure Identity
Data Protection That Starts at Issuance
Entrust ensures that sensitive information is protected from the moment it is collected until the ID is in hand. Their issuance platforms feature advanced encryption protocols and secure print management workflows, ensuring that citizen data remains confidential and secure.
On-Demand Issuance
Gone are the days of waiting weeks to issue or replace a government ID. Entrust printers enable instant, on-site issuance, reducing administrative delays and improving citizen satisfaction—particularly in high-traffic branches or mobile government service units.
Configurable Security Features
Entrust systems allow for a layered approach to card security:
- Microtext and invisible UV ink for forgery prevention
- Biometric linking for fingerprint or facial ID verification
- Custom government emblems or holographic overlays
- Smart chips and QR codes for integration with government portals
Whether for law enforcement, civil services, or utilities, these features ensure cards are hard to fake and easy to verify.
Compliant with Saudi & Global Security Standards
Saudi Arabia’s public sector operates within an evolving cybersecurity framework led by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) and sector-specific guidelines such as those from the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Health, or GAStat. Entrust’s systems are engineered to align with these national mandates while also complying with:
- ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security Management
- FIPS 201-2 – Personal Identity Verification
- ICAO standards for travel and civil documentation
- GDPR/HIPAA equivalents for data handling and protection
This makes Entrust a long-term investment for future-proof, regulation-ready identity systems in Saudi Arabia.
