Brazilian_Id_Card

The ID cards printed in Rio de Janeiro are fully digitized using a 2D bar code with information which can be matched against its owner off-line. The 2D bar code encodes a color photo, a signature, two fingerprints, and other citizen data. This technology was developed in 2000 in order to enhance the safety of the Brazilian ID cards.

Each state in Brazil is allowed to print its own ID card, but the layout and data are the same for all of them.
