Here are some tips for taking a photo of your document

  • use an original physical document (not a screenshot, saved image or copy)
  • make sure you're in a well-lit area and put your document on a plain background (natural daylight with your flash on works best)
  • adjust your camera resolution so the aspect ratio is in 16:9
  • don’t block any text
  • make sure the camera sees the whole page including the edges and all four corners
  • for Android - make Chrome your default browser
  • for iPhone - make Safari your default browser
  • clear your browsing and cache history
  • try using a friend or relative's smartphone.
