DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On October 12, 2007, L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. (the “Registrant”), filed a registration statement on Form S-3, Registration Number 333-146696 (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the resale by the selling securityholders named in the Registration Statement of up to an aggregate of 1,612,627 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (the “Securities”).

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister all of the Securities. The Registrant is seeking to deregister the Securities because its obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the terms of the registration rights contained in the agreement and plan of merger with the selling securityholders has expired. The Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and deregisters all of the Securities registered under the Registration Statement that were not resold thereunder as of the date hereof.
