How Can We
Help You?

Margins ID Group (MIDG) provides end-to-end identity and access solutions including national identity system design and deployment, biometric enrollment infrastructure, smart card personalization and production, e-passport systems, driver's license digitization, consulting, and ongoing support and training for government and enterprise clients across Africa and beyond.

We are headquartered in Accra, Ghana and operate across multiple African countries. Our flagship projects include Ghana's national ID system (Ghana Card), e-Passport personalization for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the DVLA driver's license digitization programme. We actively pursue engagements with governments and institutions across the African continent.

MIDG combines deep local knowledge with internationally accredited capabilities — including ISO 27001 certification — to deliver context-appropriate solutions that meet global standards. Unlike many vendors, we provide full turnkey delivery from needs assessment and system design through to production, deployment, training, and long-term maintenance. Our track record includes some of Africa's highest-profile identity programmes.

Margins ID Group has built its reputation over many years as a trusted partner to governments and institutions. Our experience spans multiple national-scale identity projects, making us one of the most seasoned identity solutions providers on the continent.

Our biometric systems support fingerprint recognition (flat and rolled), facial recognition, iris scanning, and signature capture. Multi-modal configurations are available to maximise accuracy and inclusion for diverse populations including individuals with physical conditions that may affect a single modality.

Our deployed systems achieve up to 99.8% accuracy in biometric verification, as demonstrated in the Ghana Card national ID programme. Accuracy levels are validated against NIST benchmarks and fine-tuned for local demographic conditions to ensure maximum reliability.

Yes. We design our enrollment and verification systems with offline-first capability, allowing data capture and local matching in areas with limited or no internet connectivity. Records are then synchronised securely to the central database when connectivity is restored, making our solutions suitable for deployment across all 16 regions of Ghana and similarly distributed environments.

We follow a privacy-by-design approach. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 and data in transit uses TLS 1.3. Our production facilities are ISO 27001 certified. We implement strict role-based access controls, full audit trails, and comply with applicable national data protection legislation. Biometric templates are stored as irreversible mathematical representations, never as raw images where technically feasible.

Yes. Our e-Passport production and personalization systems fully comply with ICAO Doc 9303 standards, including Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD) requirements for chip-based biometric passports. The passport production facility we established for the Ghana Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a testament to this compliance.

Yes. We undergo regular third-party security audits and penetration testing. Our ISO 27001 certification requires annual surveillance audits and a full recertification audit every three years. Clients may also commission their own independent security reviews as part of contract terms.

Timelines vary considerably depending on scope, country infrastructure, and the complexity of integration with existing government systems. A phased pilot-then-rollout approach typically spans 12–24 months for a full national deployment. We work closely with clients to develop realistic project plans with measurable milestones.

Absolutely. Our solutions are built with open APIs and support standard interoperability frameworks. We have experience integrating identity systems with civil registries, immigration databases, revenue authorities, banking systems, and healthcare records. A detailed integration assessment is part of every project scoping exercise.

Yes. Through our hardware division we supply and support biometric enrollment stations, card personalisation equipment, fingerprint scanners, iris cameras, document verification terminals, and mobile enrollment kits. All hardware is sourced from globally certified manufacturers and configured to integrate with our software stack.

We offer tiered Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with 24/7 helpdesk support, on-site technical assistance, preventive maintenance schedules, software updates, and system health monitoring. Our support teams are based locally, ensuring rapid response times across the regions we serve.

Capacity building is a core part of every engagement. We deliver structured training programmes for system administrators, enrollment officers, technical staff, and management teams. Training formats include classroom instruction, hands-on lab sessions, and e-learning modules, with refresher courses available as part of our ongoing support contracts.
