Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on NFC National ID Cards and Residence Permits

2 min read

1. What is an NFC National ID Card or Residence Permit?

  • NFC National ID Cards and Residence Permits are documents equipped with Near Field Communication technology, enabling wireless communication with compatible readers for identity verification.

2. What is PACE (Password Authenticated Connection Establishment)?

  • PACE is a security protocol used in NFC documents. It establishes a secure, encrypted communication channel between the card and the reader, enhancing the protection of sensitive data.

3. What is the role of the 6-digit code on these documents?

  • The 6-digit code, usually printed on the front of NFC documents, is essential for accessing the NFC chip’s data. It’s used to initiate a secure PACE connection.

4. Where can I find the 6-digit code on my NFC ID card or residence permit?

  • This code is typically printed on the front of the document, often near other personal information.

5. Is the 6-digit code the same as the CAN (Card Access Number)?

  • Yes, in many cases, the 6-digit code is referred to as the CAN. It’s a key part of the document’s security features.

6. How does the NFC technology in these documents improve security?

  • NFC technology allows for encrypted, short-range communication that can include biometric data verification, making unauthorized access and forgery more difficult.

7. Can I access the NFC chip’s data without the 6-digit code?

  • No, the 6-digit code (CAN) is required for the secure PACE connection. Without it, access to the chip’s secured functions is not possible.

8. Are all NFC ID cards and residence permits equipped with PACE?

  • While many modern NFC documents use PACE, the implementation can vary by country and the document’s issuing authority.

9. What happens if I enter the wrong 6-digit code?

  • Multiple incorrect attempts can lock the NFC feature temporarily or, in some cases, permanently, as a security measure.

10. Can I change the 6-digit code on my NFC document?
– Typically, the 6-digit CAN is fixed and cannot be changed by the user. It’s set by the issuing authority for security purposes.
