NFC Verification

Tap. Verify. Done.

Verify the secure chip inside passports, national IDs, and enhanced licences directly in the browser, with no app to install. The highest-assurance identity check there is, because the data is signed by the issuing government itself.

What We Verify

Cryptographically signed identity data, straight from the document's secure chip

1 / 0

Document Authenticity

We validate the issuing government's digital signature on the chip through passive authentication. If the document is genuine, the signature checks out. If it was forged or altered, it fails instantly.

Chip Data Integrity

The data on the chip is checked against its own hashes to confirm nothing has been changed since the document was issued. Any tampering with the stored information is detected immediately.

Photo & Biographic Data

We read the verified portrait and personal details straight from the chip, not the printed page. This is the exact data the issuing authority stored, with no OCR errors or guesswork.

Face Match & Liveness

The portrait pulled from the chip is matched against a live selfie with liveness detection, confirming the person holding the document is the person it was issued to.

Document Expiry & Validity

We confirm the document is still within its valid period and surface expiry details from the chip, so expired or soon-to-expire documents never slip through onboarding.

Clone & Tamper Detection

Chip cloning and active manipulation attempts are detected during the read. A copied or spoofed chip cannot pass the cryptographic checks that a genuine government chip clears.

Industry Applications

Use Cases by Industry

NFC verification fits anywhere identity assurance has to be airtight

1 / 0

Banking & Fintech

Meet strict KYC and AML obligations with the highest-assurance document check available. Chip verification proves a customer's identity beyond doubt during account opening, while the no-app flow keeps your onboarding conversion high.

Crypto & VASP

Virtual asset providers face intense regulatory scrutiny and sophisticated fraud. Reading the government-signed chip stops synthetic and forged identities at the door, giving you defensible proof of every customer's real identity.

Age-Restricted Goods

For gaming, alcohol, and adult platforms, chip data carries a verified date of birth straight from the issuing authority. Confirm age with certainty, without relying on a photo that can be faked.

Travel & Border

ePassport chips were built for exactly this. Verify travellers and guests against the same data border control uses, in the browser, without asking anyone to install a dedicated app.

Telecom & SIM

SIM registration and number porting are prime fraud targets. NFC verification ties each activation to a genuine, government-issued document, cutting identity fraud while keeping signup fast for honest customers.

Gig & Marketplace

Onboard drivers, sellers, and service providers with confidence. High-assurance chip verification protects your platform and users, and the no-app experience means fewer abandoned signups across a high-volume funnel.

Frictionless by Design

No App, No Drop-Off

Every extra install is a customer you risk losing

In-Browser on iOS

iPhone users verify the chip directly in their browser. No App Store detour, no download, no waiting. They tap your link and the NFC read begins, turning a high-assurance check into a few-second tap.

Micro-Launch on Android

Android users get a lightweight micro-launch that opens the NFC read instantly, with no full app to install. The experience matches iOS, so every customer gets the same effortless, friction-free flow.

Higher Completion

Forced app installs are where verification funnels bleed users. Removing the install step means more customers finish, more accounts open, and your highest-assurance check becomes your most completed one.

Choose Your Approach

Photo Scan vs NFC Chip Read

Why reading the chip beats scanning the picture

Photo Scan

  • Reads the printed document surface

  • Can be fooled by a quality copy

  • OCR introduces data-entry errors

  • No cryptographic proof of authenticity

  • Vulnerable to printouts and screen replays

  • Lower overall assurance level

NFC Chip Read

  • Reads the secure embedded chip

  • Validates the government signature

  • Exact issued data, no OCR

  • Tamper and clone detection built in

  • Forged chips fail instantly

  • Highest assurance available today

Frequently asked questions

On iPhone, the verification runs directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download. On Android, a lightweight micro-launch opens the NFC read instantly. In both cases your customer simply taps your link, holds their document to the phone, and the chip is read in seconds.

Most modern travel and identity documents do. This includes ePassports built to the ICAO 9303 standard, chip-based national eID cards, enhanced and NFC-enabled driver's licences, and biometric residence permits. If a document carries a secure chip, deepidv can read and validate it.

A photo scan reads the printed surface, which a good forgery or a screen replay can fake. NFC reads the secure chip and validates the issuing government's digital signature, so altered or cloned documents fail instantly. It is the highest-assurance document check available.

Yes. iPhone users verify directly in the browser with no app, and Android users get an instant micro-launch experience, also with no full app install. The flow is the same on both, so every customer gets a fast, friction-free verification.

Yes. We pull the verified portrait straight from the chip and match it against a live selfie with liveness detection. This binds the genuine document to the real person presenting it, stopping both forged documents and stolen-identity attempts.
