(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News:
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, announces that it has delivered over 25 million e-Driver’s Licenses and Vehicle Registration Certificates to India. Gemalto has been providing these Sealys secure e-documents to multiple states across India since 2003.
The Sealys smart card solution combines with the automation of business processes at decentralized regional transport offices and state level transport registers.
