This app lets you read data from passports and compatible ID cards using your iPhone. It works by scanning the machine-readable zone (MRZ) with the camera and, if available, reading the document’s NFC chip to access additional information such as the embedded photo. The app does not perform identity verification or authentication. It simply reads and displays document data for the user. All scanning is initiated by the user. Document data is processed on the device and is not stored or shared by the app. Supported documents include ICAO-compliant passports and ID cards that contain an NFC chip.
