Good lighting
Light up the room where you are going to take the picture so that you will get a clear image of the characters of the document. Try to avoid brightness. Bright texts could not be validated.
Prevent foreground reflections
Use off camera flash. Otherwise, you will create light reflections that will prevent you from being able to read the information. Prevent any possible reflection of light. Set your device without flash.
Focus mode and sharpness
When taking the picture be sure the image is clear and without blurred areas. Zoom on it and double check the letters are well defined. It is recommended to use autofocus devices.
Angles
Take straight photo. Place your camera or smartphone at an angle of 90o to avoid creating insights that make reading harder.
Margins
Bring the document closer. Leave the minimum space around not to cut information, the larger document, the easier the reading.
Image resolution
Keep your camera on the highest quality setting it supports. We recommend to send images with a resolution of 300 dpi and 1420x1000 pixels.
Contrast
To better detect the document within the photo, place the document on a contrasting background.
