US Patent 9152902 Identification document with a contactless RFID chip

To provide an identification document, particularly a passport, in which at least one contactless RFID chip (10) and an antenna (12) connected thereto are integrated on a page of the identification document, an additional layer (22) mechanically reinforcing the RFID chip is situated at the area of the RFID chip (10) on the page, thus providing an arrangement with which the RFID chip can withstand mechanical stress for years on end.
