steve, Here is the text from the link to HANIS; IDENTITY-SMARTCARD GOVT LAUNCHES R800M ID SYSTEM PRETORIA 31 January 2000 Sapa The new R800 million Home Affairs National Identification System (Hanis) was launched in Pretoria on Monday, SABC television news reported. Speaking at the launch, Home Affairs Minister Mangosuthu Buthelezi said the new system, which used "smart cards" to store information, would eliminate the fraudulent use of identity documents. The first batch of identity cards are expected to be issued free of charge to the public in September next year. It is not yet clear whether the Hanis smart cards will include driver's licence details in its information system since the driver's licence card system was set up only two years ago, at a cost of R100 million. The Department of Home Affairs and Hanis' suppliers will load more than 40 million fingerprints onto a data base, making it the biggest of its kind in the world. It looks like a very big project. Would like to confirm the contractors/suppliers involved and any IDX relationships. Any links to the contract specifications and award announcement? Dave
