An apparatus (1) for laser personalization of plastic cards (3) is described, said apparatus comprising:
- a card feeder (4) for containing and feeding first plastic cards, each first plastic card comprising a memorization device (31,32) able to be encoded;
- an encoder (5) for encoding the first plastic cards;
- a first conveyor (7) configured so as to convey the first plastic cards in a first direction from the card feeder to a second conveyor (8),
wherein, during conveying of the first plastic cards in the first direction, the long side of the first plastic cards is kept substantially parallel to said first direction;
- an inlet (I1) configured to receive second plastic cards, wherein said second conveyor is configured to convey said first plastic cards and/or said second plastic cards in a second direction, wherein said second direction is substantially perpendicular to the first direction: and
- a laser personalization device (6) configured to receive said first and/or said second plastic cards and configured so as to alter at least one portion of their surface in accordance with a predefined pattern.
