How do I take a picture of my ID or passport

To verify your profile, it is necessary to take a photo of your passport or ID card. Read more advice on taking suitable photos on this page and use the tips below when taking your photos:

  • Turn off the portrait mode on your phone or computer camera — it can cause unwanted blur, making the ID unreadable in the photo.
  • Make sure the passport or ID card fills the frame as much as possible while remaining fully visible.
  • Ensure the entire ID document is visible, with no cropping.
  • Use plenty of (day)light to avoid underexposed photos.
  • Avoid any strong flash reflections in the image.
  • Make sure the photo is sharp and clearly readable.
