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
★★★★☆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.
★★★★★Erwan MASSON CHAN· Oct 9, 2025
Very Good app. Simple and straight forward but works perfectly as expected to do so.
★★☆☆☆David Monaco· Sep 2, 2025
I was supposed to use this app for a job on click worker. But I could not even make it past the first step. It wanted to scan the back of my I. Di didn't do it as it told me to but would not read my I. D try turning the flashlight on my phone. Then it tells me tough with the glare. Still wouldn't work though
★☆☆☆☆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.

I can't even scan any card, from ID to driver license
