Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
It's a small chip built into the passport that securely stores the holder's identity data: personal details, photo, and a digital signature from the issuing government. Any NFC capable smartphone can read this with one tap, no contact needed beyond holding the phone near the page.
A photo or scan of a passport page can be recreated through screen capture, photocopying, or editing. The chip's data is signed the moment it's issued, so editing it breaks the signature instantly. That makes it far harder to forge than anything printed on paper.
No. NFC verification works best as an extra layer on top of your standard document check, confirming the data hasn't been tampered with on top of whatever visual or OCR checks you already run.
Most modern iOS and Android phones support NFC reading. If a user's device doesn't, they can fall back to a standard document scan, so this works as an optional upgrade rather than a hard requirement.
Any passport issued under the ICAO e-passport standard with an embedded NFC chip. That covers the large majority of passports issued globally today, not just US passports.
