What VTI does

VTI (Private Joint Stock Company VTI) is a Ukrainian IT systems integrator founded in 1972 and headquartered in Kyiv that designs, implements, and maintains large-scale automated information systems for sovereign clients. Its core product portfolio centers on national identification infrastructure: electronic passports, ID cards, driving licenses, firearms and migration permits, social ID cards, and armed forces credentials, all built on ICAO-compliant secure chip platforms (NXP JCOP 3 SmartMX2-P60) with biometric integration. The company also builds and operates national-scale population and civil registration databases, most notably the Integrated Population Registration System (IPRS) deployed in Kenya and the State Information System of Individual Persons Registration and Documentation for Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Supporting systems include the Kobra-VTI electronic document emission platform, Rubizh information security system, the eCredential Mobile NFC verification application, and a Track & Trace system for excise-stamped goods.

VTI serves almost exclusively government and intergovernmental customers through direct tender-based procurement, with no disclosed private-sector or SMB revenue. Named clients include the Governments of Ukraine, Kenya, Nepal, and Moldova, plus Interpol and Ukrainian agencies such as the State Aviation Service, Prosecutor General's Office, and State Administration of Rail Transport. Revenue is generated through large multi-year design-build-maintain contracts and ongoing annual maintenance and onsite management services (e.g., Kenya IPRS), with card production outsourced to partner Polly-Service (capacity of 220 million cards). In 2019, VTI extended its stack into a blockchain-based KYC platform in alliance with Arkada Bank and Polly-Service, positioning itself around an 'Electronic Ukraine' national digital identity vision. The company holds 3 utility model patents and 136 software copyright registrations, ISO 9001:2008, UkrSEPRO, and UKRMETRTESTSTANDART certifications, and ICAO e-passport compliance validated by European laboratories Secunet and Fime.
