e-Passport NFC reader

About this app

Android app that uses the NFC chip to communicate with an electronic passport. It supports action, so third party apps can use it to retrieve passport data. Please visit website for more information.

The app is completely open source, so anyone is welcome to validate that it doesn't collect any personal information. Data is kept only in memory and removed as soon as you close the app. Passport data is never uploaded to any remote server.

App had been successfully tested with Russian passport. It might not work with some other passports. If it doesn't work, please create GitHub issue to help me fix the issue instead of leaving negative feedback.

Ratings and reviews

works well, but doesn't give as much info as some other apps (e.g. signing algorithm etc). edit: for people struggling to input the dates, I agree the UI is subpar, but you can quickly switch the year by tapping on the year label at the top.

Dutch passport failed at the first 3 attempts.it reads more lines than it should and rejects it. Changed passport details to BLOCK LETTERS and it worked. Could be explained in the fields. Samsung S21+

Une super application qui lit les passeports grâce à la technologie NFC. Le code source permet de comprendre comment fonctionnent les nouveaux passeports biométriques. Je recommande fortement! Pour ceux qui pensent que l'application collecte vos données, sachez que cette application n'a pas l'autorisation d'accéder à Internet. A great app that reads ePassports with NFC technology. The source code is useful to understand how the new ePassports work. I really recommend it. For those who think the application is collecting their data, please know that this application doesn't have the permission to access the Internet.
