HID Cards, Credentials & Key Fobs
HID credentials are available in numerous technologies and physical formats to support both established and newer access control systems. Options include standard proximity cards, clamshell cards, printable ISO cards, key fobs, adhesive tags and advanced contactless smart credentials.
Depending on the access control system, HID credential technologies may include 125 kHz Proximity, iCLASS, iCLASS SE, Seos, MIFARE and MIFARE DESFire. Multi-technology credentials are also available for organizations transitioning from proximity systems to newer smart-card technologies.
HID access control readers provide credential authentication at doors, gates and other secured entry points. HID reader families support applications ranging from traditional proximity access control to advanced smart credentials and mobile access.

Understanding HID Credential Technologies
Selecting the correct HID product starts with identifying the credential technology used by your access control system. HID supports multiple generations of access control technology, allowing organizations to maintain existing systems or migrate to newer credential platforms.
125 kHz Proximity
Widely installed proximity technology used with HID ProxCard II, ISOProx II, ProxKey and other HID proximity credentials.
HID iCLASS
Contactless smart-card technology designed for physical access control and other credential-based applications.
HID Seos
Advanced credential technology used across physical cards, mobile credentials and modern access control environments.
MIFARE & DESFire
High-frequency contactless technologies available in selected HID credentials for access control and multi-application environments.
Choosing the Correct HID Credential
HID cards that look alike are not necessarily interchangeable. Before ordering replacement credentials, verify the credential technology, card format, facility code, card number range and programming requirements used by your access control system. For smart credentials, additional technology and application requirements may also need to be identified.
If you are replacing an existing HID credential, the information printed on the card or key fob can often help identify the correct product family. ID Enhancements can assist with identifying HID credentials and determining the appropriate ordering information for many access control applications.
