PassportReader

Verify passports, ID cards, and digital credentials via API

PassportReader is an API for verifying passports, ID cards, and digital credentials using NFC and cryptographic validation. Most identity systems check if a document looks real. PassportReader verifies that it is real, by reading secure chips and validating signatures. Built for developers and identity platforms that need reliable verification without building complex infrastructure.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

Thrilled to launch PassportReader today! 🚀

Most identity verification relies on visual checks only (does it look real?), rather than actually verifying that the document is real.

We built PassportReader to change that.

PassportReader reads the NFC chip in passports and ID cards, validates the cryptographic signatures, and returns structured identity data via a simple API.

We’re now extending this to digital credentials as well (mDL, EUDI wallets).


Would love feedback, especially from anyone building onboarding, KYC, or identity flows.
Happy to answer any technical questions!
