ICAO ePassport Inspector is an iPhone application that performs cryptographic verification of electronic passports using the ICAO 9303 open standard — the same international protocol deployed at airport immigration counters worldwide.
Powered by the official ICAO Public Key Directory trust chain (584 CSCA certificates, updated monthly). Fully on-device, zero data transmission, zero accounts.
Hold a passport against your iPhone. The app reads the chip, verifies the signature chain against ICAO PKD trust anchors, and tells you whether the document is authentic — using exactly the same cryptographic logic as customs hardware.
Enter the 88-character machine readable zone from the passport photo page. Or scan it with the camera — OCR runs on-device, no images leave your iPhone.
Hold the passport at the top edge of your iPhone. The app opens a BAC or PACE secure channel with the embedded contactless chip.
In under 15 seconds: green INTEGRITY VERIFIED with holder identity, or red VERIFICATION FAILED with no personal information exposed.
Every cryptographic check the app performs is documented in public international standards. If it passes in our app, it will pass at any airport border using the same input.
Secondary inspection support when a border officer needs a fast second opinion or mobile verification away from the primary booth.
Verify a customer's passport chip against ICAO trust anchors during account opening or high-value transaction review.
Real-time authenticity check at the front desk for international guest registration.
Validate inbound international visitors at secured campuses, events, or trade shows.
Field verification of drivers, pilots, or vessel crew where classical border infrastructure isn't available.
