Thailand to use its Precise Match-on-Card technology for the country's
national ID card.

The order was through Smart Card Systems International, an integrator

used on 12 million cards this first as part of the first phase of the

technology will also be distributed with some 36,000 fingerprint
scanners. In further phases of the national ID card rollout, Thailand
plans to issue the ID cards to all of the country's 64 million citizens.
