Before being able to read the chip, the app first needs to scan the so-called Machine Readable Zone of the identity document since this contains the password needed to get access to the chip.
With the ReadID NFC app you can read the NFC chip that is in your passport or identity card, using the NFC capability of your iPhone (iPhone 7 or later).
It can read and verify the authenticity of identity documents that have a chip, which includes most passports and many identity cards.
This app works client-only, meaning that the personal data from your identity document does not leave your phone.
This app is based on ReadID, a mobile identity document verification technology.
