Where and how personal ID documents are produced matters to Austrians
Around 94% of all Austrians believe it’s essential that sensitive personal data for the production of identity documents isn’t transmitted abroad. Almost three-quarters (73%) consider this very important. As a traditional Austrian company, we focus on efficient and high-security production at specially secured company headquarter in Vienna.
With a team of 230 highly qualified employees, we bundle internationally recognized expertise in physical and digital identity documents in Austria. Our investments in state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and the training of specialists guarantee that the Austrian State Printing House and Austria’s economy will remain leaders in the security industry.
220 Years of Experience Meets Digital Innovation
We combine 220 years of experience in secure printing with modern ID technology. The OSD is not only a guarantor for security but also for innovation, enabling us to meet all demands for secure digital identity. The digital ID documents of the Republic of Austria 'eAusweise' have been developed by the OSD group.
Our in-house digital subsidiary "youniqx Identity AG" develops modern and secure digital ID documents such as digital driver’s licenses, digital vehicle registration certificates, digital age verification, and digital identity verification on behalf of the Austrian Federal Computing Center (BRZ). With the know how of youniqx Identity and the experience of OSD, we make digital identity a reality for millions of people.
As Austrian State Printing House, we focus on quality and trust, which is valued by Austrians: 96% consider the security quality in ID production to be high. By developing modern digital ID documents (digital driver’s license, digital vehicle registration certificate, digital identity verification) and the corresponding app 'eAusweise' in Austria, we ensure that personal identity is protected in the digital world as well.
This is also important for Austrians: around 77% believe it is essential to develop digital ID documents and corresponding apps within Austria.
Long-term Trust and Lived Partnership
OSD as a Professional Service Provider for Governments
(Austrian National Broadcasting Company ORF, August 2024)
The Austrian State Printing House has been a long-standing professional service provider for the Republic of Austria and its citizens. This trust is proven anew every day. Compared to other areas abroad, this stands out clearly: While 77% of Austrians evaluate the security quality of digital ID documents developed within Austria as high, security at foreign economic sites is rated significantly lower by Austrian citizens.
