# NFC Scan

The NFC Scan module reads the secure [NFC](/get-started-with-incode/glossary/#nfc-scan) chip embedded in ICAO 9303-compliant travel documents, such as e-passports. It then returns the document holder's data, including the chip's portrait image.

For an overview of this module and how it works, see [NFC Scan](/features-and-modules/nfc/).
