eidReader
eidReader is a utility for macOS that reads and displays information from electronic ID cards, driver's licenses and similar identity documents that contain embedded digital certificates or chips. It is typically used by government workers, legal professionals and individuals who need to access or verify identity document data on their Mac. The app provides a straightforward interface to extract and display certificate information, personal details and verification status from supported ID card formats.

1 suggestionWe could not find detailed information about eidReader's current development status or whether a native Apple Silicon build is available. Given that you are running this Intel-only app on a Mac with M-series chips, it is important to confirm its future compatibility before the late 2027 deadline when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28. Contact the developer at devian.com or through your distribution channel to ask whether eidReader has a native Apple Silicon build available now, or when one is planned. If the developer is no longer active or cannot commit to a native build, you should begin researching alternative identity document readers that offer confirmed native Apple Silicon support, so you have a migration path ready before Rosetta 2 reaches end of life.
