NFC Chip Reading
Overview
NFC (Near Field Communication) chip reading is a method of verifying identity documents by reading data stored in embedded electronic chips. Modern passports and national IDs often include NFC chips that store biometric and identity information.NFC reading ensures authenticity by validating chip data against machine-readable zones (MRZ) and digital signatures. Financial institutions and ID verification providers use NFC checks to prevent document forgery during onboarding. Regulators encourage using secure document verification methods like NFC to meet KYC/AML obligations. By enabling more accurate, tamper-proof verification, NFC chip reading helps strengthen trust in digital identity ecosystems.
