Smartphones are becoming day by day more powerful.As the same time their use is becoming more and more common in applications such as transport, healthcare, security, and surveillance functioning as a multi-purpose, ubiquitous device.In this paper we describe the preliminary results of our experience in using an Android smartphone as a tool which can be used to verify the identity of individuals through the use of two functionalities provided by the most recent generations of smartphones: NFC and face recognition.The scenario that we used for our tests was that of an emergency situation in which identities can be verified by comparing a picture stored in an id card with a picture taken on the spot.
