The person reading can use their eyes to read a passport/photo ID ;) You don't need an app to do that.

Many forms of ID also have some form of NFC/RFID to read out data wirelessly. I don't know why you'd buy something to do it automatically, but you totally could.

You'd still end up comparing a picture to someone's face, though, so you can't really remove the middle man without going into some dangerous facial recognition tech.

Your id does not contained a cryptographically signed vaccination status, which this is.

You know it’s possible to carry ID and this QR code at the same time
