And US passports.

I had to verify my identity with a UK government app recently, and the app scanned my passport's RFID!

My bank did the same thing, I felt like a fucking techno-wizard for a bit.

Does it? The IDs have one, but the passports are also still booklets, aren't they? But then if you stay within the Schengen area, the ID is enough anyways. I even been to the UK once with just my ID. Before Brexit ofc.

The plastic page in the booklet has a chip which stores your info including fingerprints
