Inspekt.ID — Passport & ID Chip Verification Inspekt.ID reads and verifies the electronic chip embedded in a biometric passport or national ID card — the same technology used at airport e-gates — right on your iPhone. Using NFC, Inspekt.ID communicates directly with a document's chip to confirm its data hasn't been tampered with, and, where supported, that the chip itself is genuine rather than a clone. No server, no cloud upload — every scan happens entirely on your device. HOW IT WORKS 1. Unlock the document by scanning the printed Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) with your camera, or entering the Card Access Number (CAN) manually. 2. Hold your iPhone near the document to read the chip over NFC. KEY FEATURES - NFC chip reading for ePassports and electronic ID cards (ICAO 9303 standard) - Passive Authentication to detect altered or forged chip data - Chip/Active Authentication to detect cloned chips, where supported by the document - Detailed data viewer covering personal data, document details, and security certificates, with both summary and technical views - Local scan history, with the option to export results or delete them at any time PRIVACY FIRST All document reading, verification, and chip communication happens entirely on your device. Document data is never sent to any server. Inspekt.ID sends only anonymous, non-identifying usage analytics (such as document type and scan duration) to help us improve reliability — never a name, date of birth, document number, or photo. Whether you're a traveler curious about a passport's chip, a security-minded individual double-checking a document, or simply exploring how modern ID verification works, Inspekt.ID gives you a transparent, private look under the hood.

About

secuveri NFC

Read full description

secuveri NFC completes the chip-reading step of an identity verification. When a business asks you to verify your identity with secuveri, you receive a secure link. That link opens this app, which reads the encrypted chip inside your passport or electronic ID card when you hold it against your iPhone. The result returns to the verification you already started, and you're done. READING THE CHIP Modern passports and national ID cards contain a contactless chip holding the same information printed on the document, digitally signed by the issuing country. secuveri reads that chip using your iPhone's NFC reader and verifies the country's signature, confirming the document is authentic and has not been altered. WHAT TO EXPECT • Open the link sent by the business requesting verification • Enter the details from your document's data page • Hold the top of your iPhone against the document and keep still • The chip is read in a few seconds and you return to where you began PRIVACY BY DESIGN • The chip is read on your device over an encrypted channel • Processing takes place in Switzerland • Nothing remains on your phone after the session ends • No account, no sign-up, no advertising, no tracking REQUIREMENTS • iPhone 7 or later, iOS 15.5 or later • A passport, national ID card or residence permit with a contactless chip (look for the chip symbol on the cover or card). • A verification link from a business using secuveri. The app cannot begin a verification on its own. secuveri NFC is operated by secuveri GmbH, Zug, Switzerland.
