## What is CHECK?

The CHECK-AT app is your digital companion for an easy verification of the new Austrian passport and ID card. With the app, check the QR code and other security features on the new passport generation easily and securely.
Simple verification - without any need for technical expertise: 
In addition to the convenient QR code check, the CHECK-AT app guides you step by step through verifying individual security features on the new Austrian passport and ID card. Using examples, the CHECK-AT app allows you to thoroughly examine the digital and physical security features of the new passport generation and ID card – even without any special expertise.
Local verification without retrieving personal data from the internet: 
During the QR code check, the information contained in the QR code is only displayed on the verifying device. The relevant information is directly included in the QR code and is not retrieved from a database. The app connects to the internet during the startup process to check the availability of new certificates necessary for the correct and secure verification of the QR code. If new certificates are available, the app automatically downloads them to the device in use. Furthermore, the app does not connect to the internet at any other time. No personal data is retrieved from the internet or uploaded to the internet.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert

*2026-01-03, version 2.0.3*

Scan und Reisepass-Check haben funktioniert.

### 1/5 — Wofür das ganze?

*2025-10-22, version 2.0.1*

Die App scanned den Code gar nicht ein (10/2025). Es tut sich nichts! Komplett unnütz die App!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert Stand April 2025

*2025-04-17, version 2.0.1*

Ich kann nicht beurteilen, ob die App vielleicht in der Vergangenheit nicht funktioniert hat aber zum heutigen Stand (April 2025) funktioniert sie einwandfrei und alle Sicherheitsmerkmale werden angezeigt und erklärt.

### 1/5 — Scan funktioniert nicht

*2025-03-26, version 2.0.1*

🥴

### 1/5 — Scan nicht möglich

*2025-03-15, version 2.0.1*

Hat denn niemand vor der Freigabe die App getestet?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-02-21*

Tried to scan the barcode in my new passport over a dozen times with my iPhone 12 Pro. 
Garbage app that probably cost the Austrian tax payer a fortune.

### 1/5 — QR-Code Scan nicht möglich

*2024-01-04, version 2.0.0*

Eine App, die für viel Geld entwickelt wurde und ein von zwei Features, die sie können soll, nicht kann, ist nur einen Stern wert. Wer auch immer diese App für die Veröffentlichung freigegeben hat, sollte, wie die Entwickler selbst, gekündigt werden. Blamabel!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht…

*2023-11-10, version 1.9.0*

… wollen ist gut. Können wäre besser. 
Eine blamable Angelegenheit für das BmfI.

### 1/5 — Erneutes Scannen nicht möglich

*2023-10-28, version 1.9.0*

Hatte mich bei der Auswahl der Kontroll-Fragen vertippt, wollte erneut scannen; keine Chance - das System verweigert den erneuten Scan. Echt doof.

### 1/5 — Cannot scan QR on iPhone 14 Pro

*2022-09-21*

Does not focus on iPhone 14 Pro, so the App cannot be used.
