Interesting that you asked because I thought about it myself when I heard about new Core NFC API.

Unfortunately it seems like it's still too limited and can only read NDEF tags, so as far as I understand it won't be able to read passport data.

@tananaev ah, ic. What tags do passports use?

mvayngrib avatar Jun 14 '17 00:06 mvayngrib

I'm not too sure, but from what I read it's something different.

@mvayngrib different counties passport uses different tags, but most of European countries use ISO 14443 tags (a and b). Hope this helps.

Interesting. Looks like there's even a library:

I don't think I would have time to work on it any time soon though.
