FAQ

Driving licence paper refers to specially treated security substrates for driving licence documents. It combines high mechanical strength and resistance to ageing with good printability and optional integrated security features (e.g. watermarks, security fibres). 

Depending on the project, security features such as watermarks, fluorescent or non-fluorescent fibres, and reactive dyes can be integrated – tailored to regulatory specifications and the intended personalisation process. 

Suitability depends on the product and its properties. The Lahnpaper portfolio includes substrates designed for common printing and personalisation processes. We work with our customers to select the appropriate security paper in line with their requirements.
