# Locating the NFC Chip in Your Passport

## Introduction

The NFC scan only works with biometric passports or e-passports (electronic passports), which contain an RFID chip.
You can confirm that your passport contains an RFID chip by checking the cover for this symbol: [insert symbol here]

## Find the NFC Chip in Your Passport

The NFC chip in your passport serves as a digital key to your personal data, including your photo, name, date of birth, and more. Locating the chip is the first step in using NFC-enabled services or protecting your passport from unauthorized scanning. The chip can be found in one of several standard locations:

| NFC Chip Location |
|-----------------------------------|
| Front cover |
| Back cover |
| Photo page or biodata page |
| Dedicated chip page |

**Note:** Some passports have additional shielding, making it easier to scan the chip from one side than the other. Experiment with your passport to find the most reliable scanning position.

## Referenced NFC Chip Location

Below is a list of countries and the typical location of the NFC chip in their passports. This information can vary, so check your specific passport or contact your country's passport issuing authority for the most accurate details.


- **France**: Dedicated chip page

Remember, the location of the NFC chip in passports can change with new editions or vary by design choices made by each country.
