Kiosks Designed to Support Federal Credentialing Programs Set to Launch in 2007 STAMFORD, CT – January 22, 2007 – L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:ID) today announced the design of transportable kiosks that will make the process of applying for federally-mandated biometric credentials quicker, easier and more secure for all citizens. The new L-1 Verification and Identification Enrollment Work Stations (VIEWS) will be available through government agencies, systems integrators and leading providers of credentialing services as they support existing federal and commercial identification-related programs, as well as several new ones planned for launch in 2007. These include initiatives such as the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC), Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), commercial driver's license applications (such as HAZPRINT enrollment), Registered Traveler and many more. "L-1 is not only providing the superior technology required to help meet our nation's growing emphasis on better protecting personal identities, but also packaging it in such a way that makes enrollment as simple, secure and easy as possible for our citizens," said Robert V. LaPenta, Chairman, President and CEO of L-1. VIEWS is ideal for use by maritime workers, truckers, and others applying for TWIC cards; federal agency employees who must obtain new biometric-based identification cards per HSPD-12 regulations, and for private citizens who choose to enroll in the Registered Traveler program to speed their way through airport security checks. VIEWS offers a simple and direct vehicle for quickly entering personal data, biometric imprints, and other information required for their application. For example, data can be taken directly off of the enrollee's passport, driver's license or I-9 card, minimizing the number of fields that need to be populated. This approach assures a level of accuracy and privacy not possible with other application methods. Face and fingerprint images are then scanned though an easy to use, step-by-step process that validates that the correct images have been captured and stored properly. In addition, these kiosks provide a means to cut the wait-time for federally-issued credentials as the files are validated and forwarded to the correct agencies at the time of enrollment. VIEWS units are flexible, available as permanent stations or as a highly mobile "jump kit" that can be easily transported and set up in minutes, ideally suited for temporary enrollment needs. The kiosks can be branded in accordance with any federal agency requirement or organizational preference. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) also can be altered to fit each specific credentialing application. The units are comprised of hardware components and software functionality that are tailored to meet each enrollment program's needs. They are powered by a full range of offerings from L-1 companies including: * iA-thenticate Document authentication scanners and software About L-1 Identity Solutions L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc.
