Before you get started

Some considerations before you crop the picture of your identity card.

1. Make sure all relevant details are within the frame. Missing info could make the document unusable.
2. Don’t crop too close to the text or features. Leave some margin for context and to meet any guidelines.
3. Ensure the identity card is right-side-up and aligned straight. Crookedness could cause issues in automated systems.
4. Make sure there are no shadows that could obscure text or features before cropping.
5. Check the picture resolution. Crop at a high enough resolution to keep all text and features clear and readable.
