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).

Very Good app. Simple and straight forward but works perfectly as expected to do so.

Waaaw, you are one of the best app anyone can have in phone

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.

How does the app take the photo even to begin with? Cool photo snapping animations and visual changes, but I am just staring at my card.

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

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