NXP MAXIMIZING ROI WITH NATIONAL e-IDs: (electronic ID solutions)

CONSIDERATIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT
Developing and implementing a national program for electronic IDs (eIDs)
is a complex, time-consuming, and expensive undertaking.
Each country does things a little differently, but there are several things that all successful eID deployments
have in common. Below some best practices, so national governments can ensure security and convenienc
on the long run while reducing costs, working more effectively, and maximizing their return on investment.

GREATER CITIZEN
SATISFACTION
Digital IDs make it easier for people
to access government services and
enjoy the benefits of citizenship,
and that helps increase citizen
satisfaction and engagement.

LOWER TRANSACTION COSTS
eIDs are read and authenticated by
dedicated machinery, they increase
automation and lower the cost of each
transaction as citizens can interact with
automated kiosks or online services.

INCREASED SECURITY
The eID format, based on smartcard
technology makes citizen data more
secure, and as a result helps combat
identity theft and reduce fraud.

WHERE TO START: VISION,
LEGAL MANDATE, TECHNOLOGY
There are three things needed to create a strong
foundation for a nationwide eID program: a clear vision,
a legal mandate, and a strong technical framework.

Having a solid baseline configuration creates a strong foundation for growth and saves work over
time, since there’s less need to rework the architecture or change formats as the program evolves.
The baseline configuration should verify identity, as required by law enforcement, government
programs, private-sector services, and/or border-control agencies. Here are a few other things to
consider, since they can lower the total cost of ownership on the long run while ensuring security
scalability and flexibility for future enhancements and programs extensions.

THE eID SYSTEM SOLUTION
Developing the overall system solution is another time for careful planning, so as to increase
efficiency, avoid unnecessary delays, and reduce the duplication of effort. A carefully designed
ecosystem increases return on investment by streamlining steps, simplifying processes, and
lower overall cost.
