Works but privacy concern
This app can scan the info on your passport chip to help you know if it is working. But it is unclear whether the info is sent to a 3rd party so there is a data privacy risk.
Description
With the ReadID NFC app you can read the NFC chip that is in your passport or identity card, using the NFC capability of your iPhone (iPhone 7 or later).
This app is based on ReadID, a mobile identity document verification technology. It can read and verify the authenticity of identity documents that have a chip, which includes most passports and many identity cards. Before being able to read the chip, the app first needs to scan the so-called Machine Readable Zone of the identity document since this contains the password needed to get access to the chip.
This app works client-only, meaning that the personal data from your identity document does not leave your phone.

Useful for verifying that your chip is working BEFORE you travel
While the app asks you to scan your photo, that’s required in order to decrypt the info on the chip. It’s used as a token for the purposes of verification and is deleted once the app is closed. Way better than waiting (and hoping) till you get to the airport to see if it’s working.
It collects Data
It collects Data. It asks to scan the document using the camera. It did not use the NFC. Do not trust them!
Best
I tried three other passport chip apps and this is the only one that worked.

This amazing app should be widely used in Iraq because of the huge number of police check points everywhere
Updated - Does work
New: The improved instruction videos as well as the instructions to twist the iPhone 90° allowed me to read a US passport correctly. Interesting data on this app but not entirely sure what else id do with it other than a tech demo. Old: Attempted to read a United States passport and a NEXUS card with the app. Scanned the picture page successfully, never was able to read the NFC chip. Removed case, no change. Rebooted iPhone 15 Pro Max, restarted app and now camera never came on to take a picture of the document. Camera works fine, phone recognizes other NFC devices like the silly poker chip from Identiverse’s scavenger hunt and yubikey. The app just doesn’t work. Not a good experience if we’re going to try to rely on this for identity verification.
Works but you must hold the top of your phone above barcode
So struggle to get it to work at first cause I didn’t hold my phone in the right spot. Remove case then hold the top of your phone to the back page slightly above the barcode.
Passport
Chip authenticity said clone detection not supported by this document. Does this mean my chip isn’t working?
Works Well on 2024-Issued US Passport
I recently updated my passport. This passport has a black-and-white photograph on a plastic card and a color photo on the signature page. For this version, the chip is in the back page, the one with a barcode. This combination takes about 5 seconds to read chip data.
