1. Submit documents that match your application form

Tip: Ensure that your document is valid. Review details (e.g. expiry dates, visibility of details) before you submit your application.

2. Avoid blurring/blocking document details

Tip: Use natural light (instead of flash mode on your camera) or position your document where reflection does not blur any part of the image.

3. Prevent details of documents from being cropped out

Tip: Frame your image by leaving at least 1 cm gap on each side of the document when you photograph it digitally.

4. Submit complete identity document

Tip: Capture both the profile picture and all printed details. Do not block or crop out any of the details.

5. Submit images that are in focus

Tip: When using mobile phone, tap the screen to correct the camera’s focus before taking the picture.

6. Avoid skewed distortions of your image

Tip: Ensure your phone is parallel to your document when taking the picture. Try placing your document against a white piece of paper and use it as a parallel frame.
