It first scans the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) of the document to obtain the password required to access the NFC chip. It then reads and verifies the chip's data.

Is my personal data safe when using this app?

Yes, the app operates client-only, meaning all personal data read from your identity document remains on your phone and does not leave the device.

What devices are compatible with ReadID Me?

The app requires an iPhone 7 or later model, as these devices are equipped with the necessary NFC capabilities to read the identity document chips.

What types of documents can this app read?

The app can read identity documents that contain an NFC chip, which includes most modern passports and many national identity cards.
