The IDGO Card Launches: What Security Professionals Need to Know

A New Standard in Identification Verification

The security industry is constantly evolving, and the launch of the IDGO Card marks a significant step forward in streamlining ID verification for frontline professionals. As members of the Security Industry Federation (SIF), you are at the forefront of ensuring public safety, and this new system has been designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of ID checks across the UK.

What is the IDGO Card?
The IDGO Card is a modern, secure, and reliable form of identification that aims to reduce fraudulent IDs and improve the way security teams verify individuals in various settings, from night-time venues and retail environments to corporate security and event management.

Why It Matters to You
Security professionals play a crucial role in verifying identification at venues, workplaces, and restricted areas. The IDGO Card is set to:

✅ Increase Security – Reducing the risk of fake IDs and unauthorised access
✅ Speed Up Entry Processes – Making verification quicker and more efficient
✅ Improve Consistency – Standardising ID checks across the industry
✅ Support Security Workers – Providing a reliable tool for professionals tasked with ID verification

With fraudulent IDs becoming more sophisticated, security teams need access to tools that help them make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

How Does It Work?
The IDGO Card system is designed with security professionals in mind. While full details on implementation and verification processes will be made available, the key focus is ensuring that those responsible for ID checks have clear guidelines and support in using this new system.

SIF is committed to ensuring all security professionals have access to the latest industry developments, and we will continue to provide updates, training opportunities, and expert guidance on how to effectively use the IDGO Card in your day-to-day role.
