evID by ALBEID

Explore the electronic evidence in your passport or identity card.

evID reads compatible ICAO electronic travel documents and explains what can be verified about their signed information, issuer and chip. Compare the portrait and identity fields with the printed document and the person presenting it.

THREE WAYS TO READ
• Use an NFC-enabled iPhone.
• Connect an OS-supported USB smart-card reader to your iPhone or iPad and select its interface. Contact, contactless and SAM interfaces are listed. The document must offer its eMRTD application on the selected interface. ACS ACR1251 PICC is our physically tested interface.
• Use another compatible evID device as a nearby NFC helper, paired through Bluetooth and a one-use QR code.

Enter the document's access fields or supported CAN, or scan its machine-readable zone with the camera. Interrupted readings can resume automatically within the session's recovery limits, with clear instructions when your action is needed.

UNDERSTAND THE RESULTS
• Electronic identity presents the portrait, identity fields and a compact evidence summary.
• Findings explained describes relevant failures, missing evidence and limitations.
• Standards assessment lets technicians explore the supported ICAO/BSI checks and export a technical report without holder fields or photographs.

Integrity, issuer attribution and chip authentication are distinguished from document expiry, certificate validity and revocation coverage. Missing evidence is shown honestly; successful chip access alone is not proof of authenticity.

YOUR SOURCES AND YOUR CHOICE
Review and approve public verification sources, including custom providers. Downloads show their purpose and size before consent. Saved sources remain available between sessions, with freshness and validity qualifications.

Choose device time or permit optional authenticated Netnod time checks. If verified network time is unavailable, reading continues using the device clock and the result identifies that time basis.

LANGUAGES
English and Albanian are bundled. German, French, Italian and Greek are available as optional signed language downloads, with size disclosure and consent.

LOCAL DOCUMENT PROCESSING
No account is required. Document contents, portraits, access fields and camera frames are processed in memory and are not uploaded to ALBEID. Bluetooth assistance relays document commands to the helper you select over an authenticated encrypted channel. Public resource downloads and optional network-time checks use the internet; see the privacy policy for connection and server-log details.

IMPORTANT LIMITS
evID is an independent utility and educational tool. It is not a government identity service or a certified BSI inspection station. It does not perform face matching, liveness detection or physical security-feature inspection, and electronic checks do not establish the presenter's identity. Document compatibility, available chip proofs and trust-source coverage vary. DG3 fingerprints and DG4 iris data are not acquired.
