Abstract:
Laminates are provided which are to be laminated onto identification documents, for example cards or passports, to provide protection for the document. Each laminate is provided with a unique code. The codes on the laminates can be read and stored with cardholder data. After issuance, the code can be read and then the stored codes accessed to determine whether or not the code, and the associated card, is correct. The codes can also be provided to the user of the laminate roll to be stored in a database accessible by the personalization equipment. The equipment can then read each code, and check the code against the database to determine whether the code is proper. If the code is not proper, the equipment operator can be alerted to that fact, and suitable action taken.
