As a result, customers can now complete an ID verification process by just scanning their ePassport NFC chip directly from their NFC-enabled smartphone.
ePassport enables users of Android smartphones to verify ePassports containing a NFC chip. These chips include the same information as a printed passport and offer additional security benefits, including encryption of the data being transmitted and assurance that it is an unaltered government-issued passport. The passport scanning functionality, of both traditional passports and using the NFC-embedded chip functionality, results in a better, more efficient customer experience, as well as decreased fraud through faster verification and more reliable data.
