Passy: Flipper Zero Passport Reader

Passy is a tool for reading electronic passports (ePassports/eMRTDs) using the Flipper Zero device. It extracts and decodes data securely stored in modern passports, designed for hobbyists, researchers, and security professionals.

---

Features

• Reads and decodes ePassport data from a wide range of countries
• Utilizes MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) information for secure access
• Extensible for new country support—contribute your flag!
• Advanced menu for debugging and exploring additional data groups (DGs)

---

Tested with the following countries

🇺🇸 🇨🇱 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇵🇭 🇷🇺 🇹🇼 🇺🇦 🇦🇿 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇪🇪 🇨🇭

If it works for yours, submit a PR to add your country flag!

Usage

eMRTDs are secured to prevent unauthorized reading. The key for accessing the data is derived from:

• Passport number
• Date of birth
• Date of expiry

Use the Flipper Zero to scan your passport’s NFC chip and enter the required information.

---

Limitations

• Advanced menu is hidden unless Debug mode is enabled
• Some data groups (DGs) are not fully parsed under "advanced" menu
• Country coverage is limited (see above)

---

Development

Prerequisites

• Flipper Zero device (updated firmware recommended)
• ufbt for building
• asn1c ASN.1 compiler (for protocol/data parsing)

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/bettse/passy.git
cd passy

Build the ASN.1 code (optional, required for development):

asn1c -D ./lib/asn1 -no-gen-example -pdu=all eMRTD.asn1

Roadmap / To Do

• Support PACE protocol
• Add support for more countries' passports
• Improve parsing of additional DGs
