Tips for Scanning or Photographing ID Documents

If You Use a Camera to Take Photos

  1. Place your ID on a flat surface.
  2. Use adequate, natural light instead of using flash.
  3. Take the photo as close to your ID as possible. Make sure your shadow is not covering your ID.
  4. Make sure that:
    • All four sides of your ID must be visible in the image;
    • All information on the ID must be clear and legible - no details should be blurred or covered.

If You Use a Scanner to Create a Scan

  1. Place the ID in the center of the scanner so that all four sides of the ID are clearly visible. Do not place the ID in one of the corners or sides of the scanner.
  2. Place a dark-colored piece of paper (or a book or cloth with a dark-colored cover) on top of the ID.
  3. Scan the ID.
  4. Crop the scan to fit the ID, leaving about a half-inch margin around the edges of the ID.
