Best practices for successful ID verification

To ensure a smooth and successful ID verification process, follow these best practices:

Preparation:


Valid Government-Issued ID: Have a genuine government-issued photo ID ready. It must not be an expired document, and photocopies or pictures of IDs are not acceptable.


Camera-Equipped Device: Ideally, use a mobile device with a camera for capturing images. Mobile device cameras generally yield higher-quality photos compared to webcams.


Image Quality Matters:


Capture Clear Images: Ensure that the images are neither too dark nor too bright. Avoid any glare or excessive brightness. Keep your camera steady and allow it to focus to prevent blurry photos.


Unobstructed ID Document: When photographing your ID document, make sure no part of it is blocked from view. Ideally, lay it flat to capture a complete image.


Unobstructed Face: Do not obstruct any part of your face during the image capture. Remove sunglasses, masks, or any accessories that obscure your facial features.


Optimal Lighting: Choose a well-lit location with ambient lighting. Avoid areas with strong overhead lights that cast shadows on your face or ID document. Additionally, refrain from sitting directly in front of bright lights, which can wash out your face and create glare on the ID document.


By adhering to these best practices, you'll significantly enhance the likelihood of a successful ID verification process.
