About

DL Doc Scan

Features

Read full description

The app provides secure identity verification using a biometric passport chip scan. All data is processed directly on your device and never transmitted externally, which guarantees complete privacy and protection of personal information. Upon successful verification, a unique digital identity is created for the user, which can then be used in other applications to securely prove your identity without revealing personal data.
