What is RFID Blocking? There is a rise in identity theft using RFID readers. RFID-blocking wallets and passport covers are two ways you can safeguard your personal information. These products have a metal fiber mesh that surrounds the chip in a "cage" that radio waves cannot pass through. Today's credit and identification cards include RFID technology. Most recently issued passports contain RFID chips. All of the information from your passport's first page, including your photo, is stored on the chip. An RFID chip can be found on your driver's license as well many business listings.
