No apps. No downloads. Just a simple tap.


Step 01: Wake up & unlock your phone

Make sure your phone is active, unlocked, and that NFC is enabled (see device-specific guides for help).


Step 02: Tap your phone near the label

Simply hold the top area or back of your phone over the InfoTap NFC tag. Hold steady for about 1-2 seconds.


Step 03: Open the link

A notification will appear — tap it to open the secure verification page.

  • Some phones may open the link automatically.

  • You may be asked to select your default browser.
