A secured identification document has at least two flexible layers embedding an electronic module. The electronic module includes a flexible substrate on which are positioned an antenna and a radiofrequency microcontroller storing identification data. The radiofrequency microcontroller is electrically connected to said antenna. The secured identification document has the at least two flexible layers locally joined together by means of a chemically and mechanically tamper proof material that is applied in cavities that are distributed in each of said at least two flexible layers that surround the electronic module in order to make the electronic module interdependent with the at least two flexible layers.

Secured identification document

A document with a cover having a first cover part, a second cover part, at least one internal page located between the two cover parts when the document is closed, a radiofrequency microcontroller, an antenna electrically connected to the radiofrequency microcontroller, and an electromagnetic shield capable of disrupting, at least partially, the wireless communication with the radiofrequency microcontroller when the document is closed and not disrupting the wireless communication when the document is opened. The electromagnetic shield is a wire grid. The wire mesh distance between each two adjacent wires of the wire grid is smaller than a radio-frequency wavelength used for communicating with the radiofrequency microcontroller, and is at least 0.1 millimeters and at most 40 millimeters.

Shielded contactless electronic document

A card body comprises a first card body (ID-1 card), a second card body (plug-in card) and a third card body (mini card). The first card body has a first shape (ID-1 shape). The second card body comprises a second shape (plug-in shape). The first card body encompasses the second card body. The third card body comprises a third shape (mini shape). The second card body encompasses the third card body. The third card body has a cavity for receiving an electronic module. A first boundary separates the first shape (ID-1 shape) from the second shape (plug-in shape), and comprises a first number of apertures () and a first number of notches (and) defining a first mechanical inter-card body coupling strength (link between ID-1 cardand plug-in card). A second boundary separates the second shape (plug-in shape) from the third shape (mini shape), and comprises a second number of apertures () and a second number of notches () defining a second mechanical inter-card body coupling strength (link between plug-in to cardand mini card). A cumulated length of the first number of apertures () is greater than a cumulated length of the second number of apertures () and a cumulated length of the first number of notches (and) is lesser than a cumulated length of the second number of notches () so that the second mechanical coupling strength is greater than the first mechanical coupling strength.

Progressive unplugging multi-cards body

A document which includes a cover, one or more internal pages, a radiofrequency microcontroller, an antenna electrically connected to the radiofrequency microcontroller, an electromagnetic shield capable of partially disrupting wireless communication with the radiofrequency microcontroller when the document is closed, and not disrupting the wireless communication when the document is opened is described. The electromagnetic shield included in the document is implemented using metal, conductive plastic, conductive ink or magnetic ink.
