GripID has unveiled the V10, a new portable biometric enrollment device aimed at national ID and electronic identity programs, during ID4Africa 2026 in Abidjan.
The French company previewed the device ahead of the event as a compact, multi-biometric system for eID enrollment. Integrated Biometrics, a GripID partner, identified the product as the V10 and described it as a portable all-in-one biometric enrollment station for national ID and eID programs.
The foldable device combines dual-iris and facial capture, fingerprint scanning, contact and contactless card reading, document scanning, signature capture, and a 10-inch rotating touchscreen in one unit. GripID says the V10 can capture dual iris and face biometrics simultaneously at a 60-centimeter range with automatic face tracking and active anti-spoofing.
The launch extends GripID’s broader strategy of building portable biometric tools that can pair with smartphones, tablets, and computers over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. GripID previously expanded its portable multimodal scanner lineup with devices for law enforcement, border control, and civil registration use cases, including systems built around fingerprint, facial, iris, and palm capture.
The fingerprint component is an Integrated Biometrics Five-0 FAP50 sensor for FBI-certified 4-4-2 capture, while the front of the unit includes a 4.3-inch display and signing pen for legally valid signatures. GripID says the system is intended to replace a multi-device enrollment desk with one portable station that can support national ID, eID, passport, visa, border-control, and consular workflows.
The ID4Africa setting is notable because the annual meeting is focused on identity systems for African governments and development partners. Integrated Biometrics previously launched InfantID at ID4Africa for birth-based identity programs, and the 2026 event again drew vendors targeting national enrollment, digital identity, and civil registration deployments.
GripID’s product model is built around field portability. Its earlier devices are designed to turn existing mobile or desktop hardware into biometric workstations, reducing the need for purpose-built tablets in remote enrollment and mobile identity operations. The V10 moves that concept toward a more self-contained enrollment station, with GripID describing encrypted transmission to national registries and readiness for large-scale national eID programs.
GripID says its broader hardware line is intended for professional identity control across smartphones, tablets, and computers running iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux. That cross-device model has been central to the company’s effort to make government-grade biometric capture more portable without binding agencies to a single host device.
