Description

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).

Comments on ReadID Me for Android

★★★★★ peter grant · Sep 16, 2025

Scanned Irish passport first tries. Open source and no personal data collecting, apparently. Simple to use and effective.

★★★★★ Matthew Viljoen · Aug 12, 2025

Works flawlessly - does just what it says on the tin. A great app.

★★★★☆ George Batchelor · Jun 1, 2026

Easy to use. Worked well on passport, but would not let me screen print the results so had to photo with friends phone

★★★★☆ Rahul Pal · Jul 24, 2025

It works, but I have a question to ask does this app or company store any data from passport in their servers after scan? Please answer me

★★★★☆ Roke Beedell (RokeJulianLockhart) · Mar 13, 2026

Can't capture screenshots, so I want to be able to share security data, too – I want to be able to export all exposed data. Additionally, I would like to be able to store already-verified documents for later export. Cannot scan UK DVLA licenses.

★☆☆☆☆ Joe Caputo · Mar 13, 2026

The goal is to read the chip I will not give you my passport information then you will say the chip says my passport info makes no sense why would I do that sorry

★★☆☆☆ ryan Tanner · Oct 8, 2025

Didn't work for pixel 6 and driver's license. Kept saying to align with the bottom lines. Wouldn't take the picture of my ID

★★☆☆☆ Hummam Sh. A · Aug 31, 2025

I can't scan a non NFC passport. It would be great to have the option of choosing
