Tips for uploading a POI
- All 4 corners of the document must be visible within the photograph
- When taking the photo, turn off the camera’s flash to prevent glare on your document
- Review that your document is clear and visible. Take a new photo if you are unable to read the information in the photograph
- Screenshots will automatically be rejected as valid
- Edited or cropped IDs will be rejected as they are recognized as digitally modified
- The POI must be current (not expired)
