The contract is awarded to the DGM consortium, and it represents one of the largest passport programmes for the Thales Group, of which Gemalto is a member. Other members include Data Products Toppan Forms and MultiCert.

The document includes multiple images to meet the security standards recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and a secure embedded software for fast border crossing.
