Method and System for Creating an Identification Document
First Claim
1. A method of creating an identification document, the method comprising:
- acquiring data identifying an individual, including an image of the individual, biometric data and personal identification data;
recording the acquired data on a central database;
printing a first two-dimensional symbolic barcode on the identification document, the first barcode having a relatively high density and including the image of the individual, biometric data and personal identification data; and
printing a second two-dimensional symbolic barcode on the identification document, the second barcode having a relatively low density and including said personal identification data and data for use in a biometric identification process.

Abstract
A method and system for creating an identification document (10) are provided. According to the method, data is acquired identifying an individual. The data includes an image of the individual, biometric data and personal identification data. The acquired data is recorded on a central database. On an identity document substrate, such as a card, a first two-dimensional symbolic barcode (20) is printed which has a relatively high density and includes the image of the individual, biometric data such as a fingerprint or voiceprint and personal identification data. A second two-dimensional symbolic barcode (22) is also printed on the identification document, having a relatively low density and including the personal identification data and data for use in a biometric identification process, such as a password to be spoken by the holder of the identification document. The invention extends to a method and system for creating an identification document are provided. According to the method, data is acquired identifying an individual. The data includes an image of the individual, biometric data and personal identification data. The acquired is recorded on a central database. On an identity document substrate, such as a card, a first two-dimensional symbolic barcode is printed which has a relatively high density and includes the image of the individual, biometric data such as a fingerprint or voiceprint and personal identification data. A second two-dimensional symbolic barcode is also printed on the identification document, having a relatively low density and including the personal identification data and data for use in a biometric identification process, such as a password to be spoken by the holder of the identification document. The invention extends to a method and system for authenticating an identification document created by the method and system of the invention and to the identification document itself.
