Shufti NFC Reader is an identity verification app that enables secure, NFC-powered eKYC directly from your Android device.

Launched exclusively via a verification link from your service provider, the app seamlessly bridges the web-based verification flow with your device's NFC hardware — allowing you to verify your identity using your NFC-enabled passport or national ID card in seconds.

KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

NFC Chip Reading
Reads encrypted biometric data directly from the chip embedded in ePassports and NFC-enabled national ID cards. Supports a wide range of document types and issuing countries.

MRZ Document Scanning
Uses your device camera to automatically scan and extract data from the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) printed at the bottom of your travel document. This data is used to authenticate the NFC chip, ensuring the physical document matches the chip data.

Secure WebView Session
Your verification session loads inside a protected, sandboxed WebView with JavaScript enabled, DOM storage, and Google Safe Browsing active at all times to protect you from malicious content.

Deep Link Integration
Opens instantly and directly from your verification link — no manual navigation, no account setup, no configuration required. Simply tap the link and the app handles the rest.

Pull-to-Refresh
If your session stalls or you need to restart, a simple pull-down gesture reloads your verification session without leaving the app.

Edge-to-Edge Display
Designed to make full use of your device screen for a clean, immersive verification experience.
