About e-Passport Reader

e-Passport Reader uses an Android phone’s NFC reader to communicate with the chip in an electronic passport. It can provide passport data to other apps through an action, allowing it to serve as a reader component in workflows that need to access information stored on the passport chip. Passport data is kept in memory and removed when the app is closed. The product description says the data is not uploaded to a remote server. The app is open-source, allowing users to inspect its behavior. Compatibility may vary: the supplied information reports successful testing with one passport type and cautions that some others may not work.
