In
2002, the Sultanate of Oman and the Royal Oman Police decided to deploy a
nationwide electronic ID (eID) card for its citizens. The main objectives were
to modernise the Oman National Registry System; simplify and expedite
administrative processes; improve public services for Omani citizens and
residents; promote the use of IT solutions; improve homeland security; and pave
the way for the introduction of eGovernment services. The ID card itself
provides secure access to three main applications: proof of identity, driving
licence and border control. The eID smart card is used to store the bearer’s
personal credentials including their name, address, digital photo and
fingerprints. It showcases a true multi-application environment for citizens
enabled by open smart card operating software.

In July 2001, the Belgian Council of Ministers decided to introduce a
national eID card for all citizens as the cornerstone of a broader eGovernment
project to simplify administrative processes and modernise public services. The
goal was to provide Belgian citizens not only with a new, highly secure ID
document but also with a brand-new tool for electronic signature and
authentication to access eGovernment applications, social and welfare services
or even private online services.
Today, with more than 7 million cards in circulation, Belgium is highly successful in effective use of secure eDocuments. A wide range of applications has been deployed in the country, all using secure authentication with the national eID card: tax filing, theft reports and secure authentication to a government portal, to name a few.

A participating country in the US Visa Waiver Program enabling tourism or
business travel for up to 90 days without a visa, Singapore migrated to the
ePassport in 2006.
Foreseeing the need to introduce a second generation of ePassport, fingerprint
biometrics capabilities were incorporated in the passport from the outset. These
capabilities facilitate secure authentication at airports using efficient
fingerprint recognition-enabled automated control systems. To ensure that
biometrics do not undermine privacy, the operating software features highly
secure EAC technology restricting access to fingerprint data to Singapore-authorised
authorities only. The operating software also enables fully ICAO-compliant
interoperability and outstanding data reading performance.
