About this app

The ReadID Me app (previously known as NFC Passport Reader) reads and verifies the NFC chip embedded in electronic passports, national identity cards and other ICAO compliant identity documents (ePassport, or, in ICAO 9309 terminology, Machine Readable Travel Documents: MRTD). The app optically scans (OCR) the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) to gain access to the embedded chip. It then reads the embedded chip using NFC and displays the biographical and biometric information of the document holder, as well as document information, after which security checks, such as Active Authentication, Chip Authentication and Passive Authentication , are performed and detailed results are shown.

The app also supports electronic driving licenses (eDL, ISO 18013, currently limited to Dutch driving licenses from after November 2014).

Ratings and reviews

Last year my passport went through the washer and was pretty beat up. I had to decide if I was going to go through the expense of getting an expedited replacement. This app helped show me that was unnecessary because the chip was still fully functional.

This is a great app, been using it for years. Could it be that one function has been removed though? I remember I was able to use 'Share' and it would copy the passport number and expiry date information to other apps like Google Keep. But I can no longer do this, has it been removed due to privacy/security concerns? All in all, good app though 👍

Tried it on two different UK passports both with the 'chip' symbol. It reads the photo page ok but when trying to scan the chip is confusing. Place the phone on the passport and a bar followed by a green tick is indicated on the on-screen graphic. Put the phone on the photo page or back page and same again, bar followed by green tick. However when asked to move phone up and down passport nothing happens at all. Why the green tick if nothing read?
