Malaysia’s National Registration Department has awarded Morpho a contract to acquire the company’s MorphoCivis identity management system, which is designed to ensure the secure issuance of multi-application ID cards. The new biometric system will replace the government’s current system which was supplied by Morpho in 1997. MorphoCivis is a software-based solution to register citizens using their fingerprints, photo and personal data, and reliably authenticate their identities when they access the various online services offered by the government. Morpho will deliver a turnkey solution for Malaysia with a central facility and more than 200 fully equipped offices around the country. Morpho is a division of the Safran Group.
