Veridos, a global leader in integrated identity solutions, has announced a new partnership with the Government of Kenya.

Together, they aim to further enhance the country’s already advanced electronic passports by introducing new security features, reducing issuance times, and providing citizens with secure, future-ready ID solutions.

Kenya is committed to making regional and international travel, easier for its citizens by continuously improving its ePassport.

The Kenyan government is integrating advanced security technologies and high-quality design elements that reflect their identity and values. The goal is for citizens to feel represented by their passports, move freely worldwide and trust in the document’s strong security.

The Government of Kenya appreciates the company’s expertise and cutting-edge solutions, and the strategic alignment between both parties.

As part of the project, Veridos will introduce color photos into the new Kenyan ePassports for the first time on Polycarbonate.

The updated design will celebrate key aspects of the country’s culture, featuring the Economy, History, Heritage and Wildlife.

Veridos is the joint venture formed by Bundesdruckerei and Giesecke+Devrient. Both partners share a core belief that the right to a unique and secure identity is a fundamental human right.

On the security side, Veridos will implement CLIP ID, a high-resolution, full-color portrait feature that makes counterfeiting nearly impossible. Another key innovation is Spectre ID, a dynamic element that reveals matching embossed structures when the passport is tilted. In addition, the passport will include MAGIC ID, which creates animated effects throughout its pages, adding further protection against forgery.

“For the next generation of Kenyan ePassports, we sought to design a passport that embodies who we are as a people by showcasing the Kenyan story and promoting inclusivity while incorporating latest technology in document design to produce a secure world class passport crafted to withstand the test of time,” says Evelyn Chegulet, director general, Directorate of Immigration Services Kenya. “We found a partner in Veridos who has the expertise and commitment to actualize our vision.”

“This partnership marks an important milestone for Veridos,” says Mohammad Mousa, Director Business Development MEA at Veridos. “We now have the opportunity to bring real value to Kenyan citizens through our technology. Over the coming years, we will work closely with the Kenyan government to develop a progressive identity strategy that reflects the country’s values and strengthens its position as a technological pioneer.”
