NFC-based Identity Verification in 2 steps
The ReadID verification process consists of two easy steps:
- Scanning the Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ)
You first scan the MRZ in the identity document with the smartphone’s camera. This is necessary because the MRZ contains the password to access the chip, thus preventing unauthorized access. - Reading the NFC chip
In the second step you hold the identity document to the back of the smartphone, allowing the chip to be read. ReadID reads the chip contents and verifies the authenticity. The NFC chip in electronic identity documents allows secure identity verification at the highest level.
