FAQ

How should I use this page?

Choose a country or document page from this hub. The selected page opens the photo workflow with the relevant document rules already in context.

Are requirements different for each country and document?

Yes. PhotoDocs keeps format, background, submission route, source authority and verification level separate for every document profile.

Can I start from a phone photo?

Yes. Use a sharp front-facing portrait with even light. The tool can prepare crop and background, but the document page still shows the exact rules to check.

How reliable are the requirements?

Each profile shows its trust level, source authority and last verification date. Lower-confidence profiles are marked instead of being presented as exact official rules.
