Re: Quick question on control numbers

Thanks.
A control number is the number used by the issuing orgranization. However, if the control number on the ID card you saw is the same control number on all other ID cards used by that organization, then it may be useless. IPIU's photo credentials use personal numbers and items on both sides of the ID card to track and verifiy. In other words, any number that only appears on an individual ID card means it can be tracked (like a driver's license number)
