Aratek, a trusted provider of biometric and digital ID technologies, will join ID4Africa 2025 from May 20–23 at the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel in Addis Ababa. At Booth #P1-04, Aratek will demonstrate how its field-tested biometric devices are helping governments and institutions scale foundational identity systems and accelerate real-world adoption—especially in programs aligned with the MOSIP framework.
This year’s theme, “Digital Identity at Scale: Prioritizing Use, Accelerating Impact,” reflects the growing urgency to move beyond pilots and deliver identity systems that are operational, inclusive, and integrated into everyday services. Aratek will showcase a range of solutions designed exactly for that mission.
Whether it’s enrolling citizens in rural villages or verifying identity at border posts, Aratek’s Marshall Series of biometric terminals gives governments the flexibility to work anywhere—without compromising reliability.
From the Marshall 8 Plus with FBI FAP 60 and MOSIP compliance, to the ruggedized Marshall 8R and compact Marshall 5, each device is designed to handle real enrollment and authentication challenges in the field. Built-in fingerprint scanning, face and iris capture, card and MRZ reading, and even portable printing help streamline the entire ID lifecycle in a single unit.
“Scaling identity isn’t just about bigger databases—it’s about making sure frontline workers can capture and verify identities accurately, anytime, anywhere,” said Samuel Wu, Aratek’s Vice President of International Business Division. “That’s exactly what the Marshall series is built for.”
Aratek will also highlight its MOSIP-compliant fingerprint scanners—such as the A400, A600, and A900—built to meet the most rigorous demands of national ID and voter registration systems. These devices feature FBI and STQC certifications, Live Finger Detection (LFD), AES-256 encryption, and MINEX III-compliant algorithms, ensuring secure and high-quality fingerprint enrollment in any setting.
From high-throughput registration centers to on-the-go authentication, Aratek’s fingerprint range has been successfully deployed in projects across government, telecom, and financial services.
Aratek will also highlight its IR210 and IR201 iris scanners, engineered for high-accuracy iris enrollment and matching in programs that demand top-tier security.
The IR210, a MOSIP-compliant device, features binocular capture with minimal light interference and a design optimized for accuracy and comfort. The IR201 offers contactless iris capture, ideal for hygienic, high-throughput environments. Both models support advanced SDKs for seamless integration into national ID, voter registration, border control, and healthcare systems.
As more African countries adopt MOSIP to build open, modular digital ID systems, Aratek stands ready with a full range of MOSIP-compliant devices that are proven, field-tested, and ready to scale.
“Having certified MOSIP components is no longer optional—it’s critical for governments building DPI-based identity systems,” said Wu. “Our compliant solutions—from fingerprint to iris to mobile terminals—help nations easily accelerate rollout while staying aligned with global standards.”
As digital identity continues to evolve from a development goal into national infrastructure, Aratek remains focused on building solutions that deliver impact in use—not just in specs.
“We see governments moving from pilots to production, and from strategy to execution,” said Wu. “That’s where Aratek fits in—helping programs go live, at scale, with hardware they can trust.”
Join Aratek at Booth #P1-04 at ID4Africa 2025 to see how we’re helping turn digital ID goals into lasting infrastructure.
