## What is Passeporté?

Passeporté reads the NFC chip in your biometric passport or national eID card, verifies its authenticity, and stores the data securely on your device.

WHY PASSEPORTÉ?
• Keep a secure backup of your passport in case it's lost or stolen abroad — have your details ready for the embassy
• Store your family's passports in one place before a trip — no shuffling documents at check-in
• Check visa eligibility and entry requirements instantly — your passport number, nationality, and expiry are always at hand
• Verify a passport is genuine and not tampered with — useful for landlords, notaries, or HR onboarding
• Know exactly when documents expire — get alerts months ahead so you never miss a renewal before a trip
• Fill out booking forms, visa applications, and hotel check-ins faster — no digging out the physical document every time
• Keep a record of your old passports for visa history or proof of prior travel

SCAN
Point your camera at the passport data page to read the MRZ automatically, or enter details manually. For eID cards, enter the 6-digit CAN from the front of the card.

READ VIA NFC
Hold your device against the passport or eID card. Passeporté reads the chip using BAC (passports) or PACE (eID cards) and retrieves your photo, personal details, MRZ, and signature.

VERIFY
Passive Authentication verifies data integrity using the chip’s digital signature. Active Authentication confirms the chip is genuine and not cloned.

STORE SECURELY
All document data is encrypted using the Secure Enclave with biometric protection. Data never leaves your device — no cloud, no backups, no network access.

EXPIRY ALERTS
Get notified 6 months, 3 months, and 1 month before your documents expire. Never be caught off guard at the airport.

PRIVACY FIRST
• No internet connection required or used
• No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry
• Encrypted with Secure Enclave (P-256 + ECIES)
• Biometry-gated access — changing biometrics erases all data
• No iCloud, no backups, device-only storage


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.2 — 2026-07-27

Better compatibility with electronic passports.

- Added support for passports that use PACE with Triple DES authentication.
- Fixes passports that could not be read at all because the chip offers only this method.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-26

Better compatibility with electronic passports.

- Added support for passports that use PACE with AES-128 authentication.
- Improved NFC authentication diagnostics and stability.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-24

New languages, better document compatibility, and faster, more reliable scanning.

- Now available in Norwegian, Turkish, Hebrew, and Hindi.
- Reads even more passports and eID cards — added support for more national chips, and now recovers gracefully when the chip briefly loses contact mid-scan instead of failing the whole read.
- Faster NFC reads — skips biometric files the app can never open.
- More accurate authenticity checks — an interrupted read no longer flags a genuine document.
- Clearer guidance when the entered CAN or passport number doesn't match the chip.
- Tap your passport photo to zoom, pan, and share it.
- Smoother wallet-card animations and a range of stability fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-04-29

Better passport compatibility and partial-scan handling.

- Reads more passports — Taiwan, AES-128 chips, non-brainpoolP256 curves, passports with short document numbers, Belgian/French BCD dates, US passports with non-standard SOD encoding.
- Tries the modern PACE-MRZ protocol first and falls back to BAC automatically.
- When the chip moves away mid-scan, the app now keeps what it managed to read and shows a "Partial scan" banner explaining what's missing instead of saving silently.
- Failed scans now show a clear error and a reference code you can share with us — we get the full diagnostic trace on the back end.
- The NFC sheet dismisses immediately on errors instead of hanging until iOS times out.

### 1.1 — 2026-04-10

Improved support for reading more passport types. Refined layout and text sizing across all screen orientations.
