Dear all

I want to let people know about a new venture I am undertaking to provide free newsletter-quality news, whitepapers, comment etc. to all interested in the area of passports, ID cards, visas, other government security documents, commercial security documents etc.

The new site/portal is www.securitydocumentworld.com . At present there is a temporary holding page that explains the content of the site and allows you to sign up for one, or all, of the three free newsletters we are going to be producing. I have a team of journalists who will be researching and producing news on a daily basis, meaning that the site’s main news will be original, researched and fresh – something that we thought was essential to differentiate ourselves from the web masses.


The actual site will go live in November and so far we have signed up a number of launch sponsors. The site will fund itself through advertising, but access is completely free. Please sign up for the newsletters today and register to make sure you are alerted as soon as the site goes live.

This new venture is not specifically biometric-focused, instead, it is focused on the whole raft of technologies/issues affecting those charged with producing security documents in both governmental and commercial sectors. I hope it is nevertheless highly relevant to many on the list.



I will still be fully involved in all my current activities – BTT, Biometrics 2005, CTT, SCTi etc.

Kind regards



Mark Lockie
