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).

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

Waaaw, you are one of the best app anyone can have in phone
★★★★☆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.
★★★★★Dr Abhay Kedia· Sep 2, 2026
Excellent app. Does what it is supposed to. Don't worry about the app requiring you to scan the inside of your passport. That is done so that no one can get your details from a closed passport. Excellent app if you want to verify the NFC chip on your E-Passport in India.

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
★☆☆☆☆Israel F Ramirez· Oct 29, 2025
Took the pic of my USA passport instantly but would not read my NFC chip no matter how many times I tried. I moved it to several different positions and still nothing. I have a Z Fold 7 and the NFC reader works perfect everywhere else.
★☆☆☆☆Jose Javier Olivo· Nov 10, 2025
Visually it seems fine, yet it will not scan the ID card
