Reading the MRZ is only one part of some identity verification projects. The printed information may also need to be checked against the data stored in the document’s NFC chip.

The XTIOT XT8002C combines both functions in one Android PDA.

It can scan the MRZ printed on passports and ID cards, then read compatible contactless chips through NFC. The same handheld terminal also supports common 1D and 2D barcodes.

Main hardware features:

• MRZ reading

• NFC chip reading

• 1D and 2D barcode scanning

• Android operating system

• MediaTek MTK6765 processor

• Portable handheld design

The XT8002C provides the scanning and NFC hardware. Data processing and the identity verification workflow are handled by the customer’s Android application.

It is suitable for mobile registration, hotel check-in, visitor management and other projects that need MRZ and NFC in one handheld device.
