The card is made of Teslin substrate, a unique synthetic paper that can literally lock ink, toner, coatings, and films into its structure so that critical information can’t be removed or changed. The new security measures that have been added since 2019 are three QR codes, two of which contain biographical and biometric information relating to the card carrier, including facial data with the capacity to store up to 10 minutiae (compressed fingerprint images). Even the color photo of the voter contains invisible information, embedded within the picture.
Not surprisingly, this is the ID document of choice for Mexicans – indeed, it’s the primary national ID document in the country. Whether citizens want to buy a mobile phone line or apply for a bank credit, the new version of the document could be verified remotely. The card holder would simply take a selfie and then scan the QR codes on their smartphone; a specially developed application would read the biographic information and then decode the QR codes, matching the data and providing easy, reliable verification for the citizen.
Some suggest the system will be linked to food when the food shortage kicks into high gear. Want food coupons then get this blah blah.
Food, bank accounts, water, basically anything you need to survive.
