Read Chip-Based ID
Documents with
Confidence

ScanDoc’s NFC Verification adds an extra layer of security and accuracy by reading the encrypted data stored on the RFID chip of electronic ID documents. Using a mobile device, you can instantly access secure data, including the holder’s personal information and a high-resolution digital photo, straight from the chip.

What is NFC Verification?

NFC technology enables secure, contactless reading of data stored on the chip embedded in ePassports, eIDs, and residence permits. This chip contains information that is compliant with ICAO 9303 standards, making it one of the most reliable sources for identity verification.

Unlike traditional OCR or visual inspection methods, NFC reads data directly from the chip, ensuring it hasn’t been altered or tampered with. 

How it works?

Document Detection

 The user scans the identity document using their phone to read NFC chip.

Data Extraction

The chip’s content - textual data, facial image, and digital signatures - is retrieved.

Data Injection

 Extracted data is seamlessly injected into your internal system or application.

Why NFC Verification?

Tamper-proof Data

Information is read directly from the official chip, minimizing the risk of forgery.

Higher Accuracy

NFC data is machine-readable, structured, and more reliable than visual text capture.

Secure Onboarding

Combines well with face matching and liveness checks for remote identity verification.

Simple Integration

Works with ScanDoc’s API and SDK to integrate easily into your digital workflows.

Real-Time Results

Fast and accurate reading with immediate verification feedback.
