About Eid Passport:
Eid Passport (http://www.eidpassport.com) provides vendor access management solutions that are ideal for military bases and governmental agencies (including Coast Guard, Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force facilities); federal, state, and local government buildings; and other homeland security applications. Eid’s solutions combine self-registration stations, background checks (vetting), RFID, credentialing, biometrics, and other services and technologies within a complete security solution.

Eid Passport’s RAPIDGate program, designed especially for military, government, and commercial facilities, makes granting facility access more secure and faster for vendors, suppliers, service providers, and contractors. It significantly reduces ingress and egress time through the use of secure credentials, ultra-long-range active RFID badges, access management systems and biometric data. And by allowing security personnel to focus on non-screened parties, the RAPIDGate program tightens security even more.

Eid Passport also helps commercial clients minimize the risk of terrorism, workplace violence, theft and fraud presented by vendors, suppliers, service providers, contractors, and even employees. Its products work within security programs and checkpoints at commercial facilities including ports (airports, and seaports); manufacturing and distribution centers; casinos and gaming; stadiums; employment and staffing companies; and corporate headquarters. Through its self registration, background screening, identity authentication, secure credentialing and enforcement, facility administrators / employers can be sure that only authorized personnel can gain access to their facilities.
