                                  ID Data Plc



                          ("ID Data" or "the Company")



                                  Contract Win



      ID Data awarded US$800,000 plus contract to supply Buypass, Norway.



ID Data, the provider of secure, card-based transaction systems and services to
the retail, government, bank and financial sectors, announces that it has signed
an exclusive contract to supply Multos smart cards to Buypass, the leading
Norwegian security, payment services and solutions provider.

Buypass offers leading edge solutions for the provision of electronic services
based on the use of Multos smart cards for electronic cash delivery and
electronic ID.  Owned jointly by The Norwegian Lottery and Norway Post, Buypass
customers include both public and private organisations.

Gunnar Lindstol, CEO of Buypass, said:  "After reviewing a number of leading
smart card manufacturers world wide, ID Data was chosen as our supplier for this
important contract, based upon a detailed evaluation of quality, price and the
ability to live up to Buypass's high expectations."

Commenting on the contract win, Peter Cox, CEO of ID Data plc, said:  "This
order for a large scale high-end chip solution demonstrates ID Data's smart card
capabilities and its ability to compete in the global smart card market.  It
also shows that ID Data's skills and development capabilities can deliver the
latest technology, with the certainty of meeting our customer's needs and
timeframes.  In addition, we have the sales and marketing capability to present
ourselves as credible solution providers and win major contracts on a worldwide
scale."

"Multos is at the forefront of chip capability and technology and ID Data is one
of a few companies in the world that has the skills and requisite Multos issuer
licenses to deliver this project.  The Buypass Multos product will be produced
in ID Data's Petersfield facility in the UK.

"We are pleased to have won this significant contract and look forward to
working with Buypass on this leading edge card implementation.  It further
confirms that we have the skills and confidence to win major contracts in the
advanced payment card arena.  This adds to our credibility following the recent
high profile contract renewal, to continue supplying chip cards and card
management solutions to the world's largest issuer of credit cards."

"This project will demonstrate to ID Data's financial client base that we can
migrate them from the simple chip and PIN solutions used today, to more advanced
chip card solutions where multiple applications can co-exist on the same card.
Such technology reduces the need for more than one piece of plastic in the
consumer's wallet thereby allowing them to cope with new trends in internet
security, loyalty or other market driven applications."

ID Data is a fully accredited Visa and MasterCard solutions provider and looks
to build its future business by supplying more sophisticated payment card
solutions throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
