The HID card number your business currently uses for access control and secured identity is printed on the back of the card. However, these numbers mean nothing to you because only HID representatives understand which numbers correspond with the type of access cards available. For each card holder, the same encrypted serial number is set, then programmed and assigned to the access control software. If you are installing an HID card system for the first time, HID can help you select a format and facility code. Writer Bio
