Thales (Gemalto) AT10K-m OEM Document Reader
Details
Advanced document authentication built for kiosk, counter, and eGate integration
The Thales Document Reader AT10K-m OEM is designed for organizations that need to integrate powerful identity verification directly into self-service kiosks, service counters, airport eGates, and transportation terminals.
Built with a low profile and simple shape, the AT10K-m OEM is ideal for environments where the reader needs to become part of a larger system, not sit beside it. It supports physical documents, electronic passports, mobile driver’s licenses, mobile documents, barcodes, and optional smartcard capabilities.
With mDL and mDoc compatibility, LED landing light feedback, anti-glare technology, Energy Star certification, and advanced SDK support, the AT10K-m OEM gives integrators a compact, future-ready reader for secure and efficient identity verification.
Future-ready for mobile IDs and digital documents
The defining advantage of the AT10K-m OEM is optional mDL and mDoc compatibility. That means it is designed not only for traditional physical IDs, passports, and travel documents, but also for the next generation of digital credentials.
As mobile driver’s licenses and mobile documents become more common, self-service systems need hardware that can keep up. The AT10K-m OEM supports identity data transfer using QR code engagement with Bluetooth Low Energy, or NFC pairing, conforming to the ISO/IEC 18013-5 digital identity standard.
For integrators, kiosk builders, airports, terminals, and organizations designing long-term identity verification systems, this helps protect the investment. The AT10K-m OEM supports today’s document workflows while providing a path forward as mobile ID adoption grows.
Physical IDs today. Mobile IDs tomorrow. One OEM reader built for both.

TAA-compliant for government purchasing
The Thales Document Reader AT10K-m OEM is TAA-compliant, making it suitable for many federal, government, and contract purchasing requirements where Trade Agreements Act compliance is required.
In practical terms, TAA compliance means a product is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or in a TAA-designated country. For buyers working through GSA Schedule contracts or other covered government procurement channels, this helps confirm that the product meets applicable country-of-origin requirements.
For government buyers, TAA compliance helps simplify procurement and reduce sourcing concerns.
Why TAA compliance matters
Many public-sector purchasing teams need equipment that aligns with federal acquisition rules. TAA-compliant products help agencies, contractors, schools, transportation authorities, and other regulated organizations buy with greater confidence.
- Supports federal and government procurement requirements
- Helps meet Trade Agreements Act sourcing standards
- Useful for GSA Schedule and contract-based purchasing
- Provides added confidence for regulated identity verification projects
