HID Global Compatible Cards & Fobs
HID Global is the largest name in access-control credentials, spanning open 125 kHz proximity (which we supply as unbranded compatible stock) and modern AES-secured smart platforms like iCLASS SE and Seos (which are provisioned through HID). Our HID pages explain each technology and are clear about which we can supply.

HID DuoProx II (1336)

The printable ISO-thickness proximity card — the 1386 style — that made one badge do two jobs: photo ID on the surface, 125 kHz access credential inside. The default body for corporate badge programs.

Secured HID Global platforms, explained
These are secured credential platforms ordered through HID Global or its authorized channel — no third party supplies a compatible version, so we explain the technology instead of selling one.
HID Corporate 1000 (35-bit)
Not just a bigger prox format — a managed, registered format program. A facility guide to what Corporate 1000 controls and why credentials come only through HID's channel.
How it worksHID Corporate 1000 (48-bit)
The largest managed prox namespace HID offers — a facility guide to when the 48-bit Corporate 1000 program makes sense and why its credentials come only through HID.
How it worksHID iCLASS (Legacy)
HID's first-generation 13.56 MHz smart card — a facility guide to where legacy iCLASS came from, how it's ordered, and why planning a migration to SE or Seos is the smart operational move.
How it worksHID iCLASS Elite
Not a chip but a key program: iCLASS SE issued under an organization-unique master key — a facility guide to what Elite changes about ordering, custody, and reissuance.
How it worksHID iCLASS SE
HID's second-generation AES-secured smart card and the platform most large sites migrate through — a facility-operations guide to deploying, issuing, and expanding iCLASS SE.
How it worksHID iCLASS SR
The bridge issuance between legacy iCLASS and the SE platform — a facility guide to where SR fits, how it's ordered, and when to plan past it toward SE or Seos.
How it worksHID Seos
