The New Swiss Passport

That document looks beautiful though, very reminiscent of CHF notes.
Still has the privacy-invasive RFID/NFC. I would not recommend inadvertently deactivating such an unwanted privacy thief by forgetting it in a microwave and definitely not accidentally turning it on for 1 second because then government entities would have to rely on document identifiers from the OCR scanner as a primary key into regulated database access instead.
For either party to be clear...
You would want a paper version as a backup anyway in case the electronics fail.
Strangely, to decrypt the data off the passport you need the passport number, the date of birth, and the expiry date. I assume this is why that playstore app needs to get a photo of your passport. Sure enough, my phone could read off other details about me including my photo after a few seconds of reading.
Never knew how it worked before, and assumed it was like how mifare DESfire cards work since the bytes I got from a simple reader app were different every time. (I assume that's done so you can't wirelessly ID people using their passports)
It's somewhat clever, if someone takes a photo of the first page, they already have your personal info, to steal it from the chip they still need to have visual on the info on that page.
