About RKN Global
RKN Global enhances the security of countries, their citizens, and businesses while increasing opportunities for development through a wide range of products and services.
RKN Global is a leader in the field of secure identity document production. As such, it offers countries the opportunity to establish a sovereign security printing industry that will enable them to produce state-of-the-art identity documents with the highest level of anti-forgery protection.
Its many security printing products include smart identification documents such as e-driving licenses, e-migrant cards, and e-health and e-social security cards, and a combined e-ID and e-payment card for e-ticketing, stadium safety and security and revenue generation.
Another of RKN Global’s signature products is RKN Pass, which addresses the very serious danger presented by terrorists and dangerous criminals who use fraudulent or fake passports and ID documents to cross borders. RKN Pass can be used by government agencies and also by airlines, banks, hotels and multi-national corporations to screen passports and identity documents to determine if they are fake or fraudulent.
