London, UK-based Intercede confirms that its MyID identity and credential management system (IDCMS) has been selected by the Kuwaiti Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI), the government authority responsible for the ID issuance selects, to issue and manage ID cards for more than the country’s three million citizens and visa holders.

The company’s confirmation follows its previous announcement, last December, that an unnamed country in the region had ordered its technology.

Intercede is providing the MyID IDCMS solution through its partner in Kuwait, Diyar United Company, the system integrator and a regional information and communication technology specialist, working under the umbrella of Mohamed Abdul Mohsen Al-Kharafi, the prime contractor.

The Kuwait national identity card became operational in June 2009. The company reports that its system has recently entered full production and the first 35,000 cards have been issued, with more than one million citizens qualifying to receive a card in the coming months.
