With the ReadID NFC app you can read the NFC chip that is in your passport or identity card, using the NFC capability of your iPhone (iPhone 7 or later). This app is based on ReadID, a mobile identity document verification technology. It can read and verify the authenticity of identity documents that have a chip, which includes most passports and many identity cards. Before being able to read the chip, the app first needs to scan the so-called Machine Readable Zone of the identity document since this contains the password needed to get access to the chip. This app works client-only, meaning that the personal data from your identity document does not leave your phone.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ReadID Me holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ReadID Me has 5.1K ratings behind it against 779, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of ReadID Me's written reviews are positive against 69% of MyCalculatorClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ReadID Me ships an update monthly, MyCalculatorClient every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
