Documents with a chip
Passports, ID cards and residence permits that follow the international standard for chip documents (ICAO 9303). About 150 countries issue them.
- Your phone needs NFC to read the chip.
- We check the government signature on the chip data against certificates published by the issuing countries.
- Where the chip supports it, we also check that it is the original chip and not a copy.
- The photo of the data page must match the data on the chip.
- If we do not know the certificate of the issuing country yet, a trained person reviews the case.
