Unable to scan my ID/passport using iPhone 16 Pro Max NFC scanning

I have a iPhone 16 pro max, I have to scan my ID/passport and I says “just scan your chip using the back of your phone”


it just doesn’t scan anything, no passport no ID cards, is this a common problem with the new model or what can I do?

This is not a common problem. Are you sure that you have an id or a passport with a nfc chip in it? Here in the Netherlands only passports issued after 2022 have that chip in it
