Every country in Asia where Didit accepts ID documents, with the passports, ID cards, licenses and permits it reads there and which ones support NFC.

Didit accepts identity documents from 52 countries and territories in Asia.
Find the country below to see which document types are accepted there and which
of them can also be read by NFC chip. Your own workflow decides which of these
your users can actually use.

This page lists the countries in Asia. For every other region, see [Accepted documents in each country](https://help.didit.me/documents-coverage/document-coverage-by-country).

## How to read the table

- **Code** is the three-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3) Didit uses across the API. A few territories without an ISO code use Didit's own code.
- **Accepted documents** are the document types Didit can read for that country. Each type can have several official versions, called **subtypes**; see the [document subtypes reference](https://docs.didit.me/core-technology/id-verification/document-subtypes-id-verification) for the full list.
- **NFC chip reading** lists the document types whose chip can be read with a phone, available in 141 countries and territories. NFC needs a native SDK and a phone with NFC; see [NFC chip verification](https://help.didit.me/documents-coverage/nfc-chip-verification) and the [NFC supported documents table](https://docs.didit.me/core-technology/nfc-verification/supported-documents-nfc-verification).
- A document listed here is supported, not automatically allowed. Each workflow sets which countries and document types it accepts; if a listed document is rejected, check the accepted types and subtypes on the workflow's ID Verification step, as explained in [Supported documents and countries](https://help.didit.me/documents-coverage/supported-documents-and-countries).
