On-device passport verification

Your passport, verified in your pocket.

PassVerity reads the machine-readable zone and the NFC chip of an e-passport, confirms a real person through a liveness challenge, and matches the face against the chip portrait — entirely on your phone.

What it does

Four quiet steps, no footprints.

01

Read the MRZ

Point the camera at the machine-readable zone and PassVerity transcribes the ICAO 9303 TD3 lines with on-device OCR. No cloud vision, no character data leaving the phone.

OCR

02

Open the chip

With a tap, PassVerity authenticates to the e-passport chip over NFC using BAC or PACE, then reads the signed DG1 and DG2 data groups — document number, expiry and the portrait.

NFC

03

Check it is you

A randomized liveness challenge confirms a real person is in front of the camera, and the local FaceNet model compares the capture with the chip portrait. All inference runs on-device.

Liveness

04

Forget it instantly

The final capture is the only image that counts, gallery input is refused, and every frame, embedding and decoded data group is deleted when the session ends. Nothing is kept.

No trace

“The only place your passport data should live is inside your passport.

PassVerity — designed private by default

How it works

Three taps to a verdict.

I

Scan the MRZ

Auto-captures the two machine-readable lines with precise on-device OCR.

II

Read the chip

BAC/PACE handshake and signed data groups pulled straight from the chip over NFC.

III

Match the face

Liveness-tested selfie compared against the chip portrait with local FaceNet.

Privacy, by design

Nothing to store. Nothing to leak.

PassVerity was built on one rule: biometric and identity data should never exist anywhere except on the device that read it. Every privacy guarantee below is structural — not a setting.

  • No cloud, no accounts

    OCR, liveness and face matching are on-device. There are no servers, no profiles and no sign-in to create one.

  • Everything is deleted

    Decoded data groups, camera frames and face embeddings exist only in memory during a scan and are deleted when it ends.

  • Screenshots are blocked

    Screen capture is blocked while the app is active, and the camera flows refuse gallery input entirely.

  • FaceNet runs locally

    The liveness model and the face embedding model run on your phone's own processor. No biometric is ever transmitted.

Read the fine print

Honest about limits.

Not a government tool

PassVerity is an independent consumer application built on open-source models. It is not certified for regulated KYC, immigration, border control or any other official or legal purpose, and it makes no claim of government-level reliability.

Results are informational

Scan results are intended as a helpful reading of the document in front of you. Treat them as informational only and always rely on the physical passport and the issuing authority as the source of truth.

No certification

No KYC scheme, regulator or certifying body has reviewed or approved PassVerity's algorithms. Biometric thresholds are tuned for everyday usability, not for compliance with any regulated standard.

Questions

Straight answers, no legalese.

Does PassVerity upload anything to the cloud?

No. OCR, liveness and face matching all run on your device. There are no accounts, no servers and no analytics pinging your activity.

Are my passport photo and data stored anywhere?

No. Decoded data groups, frames and face embeddings exist only in memory for the duration of a scan and are deleted when the session ends.

Can someone screenshot my results?

Screenshots and normal screen capture are blocked while the app is active. The security-sensitive screens and flows also refuse image picker input.

Is this a government-approved verification?

No. PassVerity is an independent consumer tool built on open-source models. It is not certified for regulated KYC, border control or any official purpose.

What does the lifetime purchase include?

One non-consumable Pro purchase permanently removes ads for your store account. No subscriptions, no renewals, ever.
