NFC e-ID & Selfie Photo Collection — 1 Hour, $5

About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for people building careers in AI training and data labeling. We hire and contract contributors to collect and curate the real examples AI systems learn from — offering flexible, remote work that fits around your life.

About AI training work

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human side of making AI smarter and safer. Contributors provide the images, transcriptions, ratings and metadata that teach models to recognize faces, estimate ages, and behave responsibly.

The role

OpenTrain AI is seeking contractors to collect a small, structured photo dataset used to train facial recognition and age-estimation systems. This is a single-session task that should take about one hour.

• Work type: Contractor, part-time, one-off data-collection task.
• Time: Complete the full workflow in one sitting (≈ 1 hour).
• Pay: Fixed price of USD $5 for a complete, approved submission.
• Location: Remote — open worldwide to residents of countries that issue NFC-enabled passports or national e-IDs.

What you'll do

Follow step-by-step instructions to extract the biometric image stored on your government ID's NFC chip, then upload a set of required photos and a metadata file using the provided folder and naming template.

• Use an NFC-reader app on your Android or iPhone to extract the chip-stored image from your passport or national e-ID (screenshots/photos are not accepted).
• Upload 3 fresh, full-face selfies (neutral expression; mix indoor/outdoor lighting).
• Upload 2 profile-style photos taken within the last 10 years.
• Upload 3 older digital photos showing earlier life stages, each at least 2–3 years apart and age ≥ 12 in those photos.
• Place each file in the correct folder and submit a CSV or JSON metadata sheet (age or year taken, lighting, pose) per the provided template.

Requirements

You must meet all requirements to qualify. Careful attention to instructions and accurate metadata are essential; this project does not require prior labeling experience.

• Age & residency: 18+ and live in a country that issues NFC-enabled passports or national e-IDs.
• Identity & hardware: Own at least one NFC-enabled government ID and an Android or iOS smartphone with working NFC and stable internet.
• Apps: Able to install and use an approved NFC-reader app (examples: ReadID Ready, Regula Reader).
• Photo assets: Have fresh selfies, recent profile photos, and older digital photos (historical photos must show age ≥ 12 and be at least 2–3 years apart).
• Metadata skills: Able to complete CSV/JSON metadata (age or year, lighting, pose) and follow exact folder-naming rules.
• Language & attention: Basic English reading comprehension and strong attention to naming/format rules.
• Time & reliability: Complete the entire upload workflow in one sitting and submit accurately by the stated deadline in the instructions.

How it works

After you accept the task, you’ll receive detailed instructions and a folder/metadata template. Follow the sequence exactly to avoid rejection: extract NFC chip image, assemble required photos, fill metadata, and upload everything into the correct folders in one session.

• Follow the supplied template and naming conventions exactly; submissions that do not match the template or are missing files will be rejected.
• NFC chip image must be extracted directly from the ID using the approved reader app; photos or screenshots of the ID image are not accepted.
• Submissions are reviewed for completeness and accuracy; approval is required for payment.

Payment, privacy, and consent

This task pays a fixed USD $5 after your submission is reviewed and approved. By participating you consent to share the requested images and metadata for use in AI training as described in the task instructions.

• You must only submit images you own and are authorized to share; do not upload images of other people without their consent.
• Personal biometric information is sensitive; follow the instructions carefully and do not attempt to edit or alter the NFC chip image.
• If you have concerns about data use or privacy, review the task instructions before starting and do not proceed unless you are comfortable sharing these files.
