About e-Passport NFC reader

e-Passport NFC reader lets you access passport data directly from the NFC chip in your electronic passport using your Android device. Simply hold your phone near your passport to retrieve and view your passport information securely on your device.

This reader app is built for travel, identity verification, and integration with third-party applications. Other apps can use this reader to access your passport data through standard Android intents, making it useful for travel booking platforms, border control apps, or identity verification services that need to read passport information quickly and accurately.

Privacy and security are built in. The entire application is open source, so you can inspect the code and verify that no personal information is collected. All passport data is processed only in memory and is permanently deleted the second you close the app. Your data never leaves your device—it is never uploaded to any remote server or stored anywhere.

The app has been successfully tested with Russian passports. Compatibility with other passport types varies, as NFC implementations differ across countries. If your passport doesn't work with the reader, report the issue on GitHub to help improve support for your document type.

Develop integrations with e-Passport NFC reader by calling it through standard Android intents, allowing your own apps to access passport data when needed. Whether you're building travel applications, identity services, or border management tools, this reader provides a straightforward way to communicate with e-passport chips.
