ReadID Me Android

ReadID Me

Read and verify the NFC chip in your passport or similar identity document

Overview

Features & Capabilities

ReadID Me reads and verifies the NFC chip embedded in electronic passports, national identity cards and other ICAO MRTD documents. It uses OCR to read the MRZ to access the embedded chip, then reads the chip via NFC and displays the biographical and biometric data, along with document information, followed by security checks such as Active Authentication, Chip Authentication and Passive Authentication with detailed results.

The app also supports electronic driving licenses (eDL, ISO 18013), currently limited to Dutch driving licenses issued after November 2014. ReadID Me is provided free of charge to show what information is in your own chip. The app emphasizes privacy and does not collect personal data; see the privacy policy for details. This version is provided as-is and without warranty. For more information or to share integration ideas, contact readid@inverid.com.

User Reviews

Users show mixed experiences: several say the app works well and is efficient, especially for ePassports, and that the camera UI is visually nice. However, many reviews report persistent failures to scan IDs (drive licenses, passports, DLs), slow or unreliable photo capture, and NFC reading issues. A subset raises privacy concerns about internet access permissions. Overall, reliability is inconsistent across ID types and devices, with some users experiencing smooth operation and others encountering frequent failures.
Pros
  • When it works, it scans IDs quickly and efficiently (including for ePassports).
  • The app provides a visually appealing camera UI with snapping animations.
  • Some users consider it the best app ever when functioning.
Cons
  • Inability to scan/read IDs reliably across multiple ID types (driver's licenses, passports, etc.).
  • Photo capture is slow/unreliable and often gets stuck.
  • NFC reading fails for contactless data (e-passports, etc.).
  • Privacy concerns: requests full network access with unclear explanation.
