📄 Documents
What file formats do you accept for document uploads?
SwiftPass accepts PDF and image files (JPEG, JPG, or PNG) for all document uploads.
How should I scan and upload my documents?
To ensure your documents are clear and easy to read, follow these best practices:
-
Use a scanner or mobile phone camera with good lighting.
-
Place the document on a flat, contrasting surface.
-
Ensure all text and images are in focus and legible.
-
Avoid shadows, glare, or reflections.
-
Capture the entire document without cutting off edges.
Using a mobile phone is perfectly acceptable as long as the image is clear and includes all necessary details.
What are the requirements for uploading a passport-type photo?
Your passport photo must meet these specific requirements:
-
Taken against a plain white wall with no background objects.
-
File format: .jpeg or .jpg.
-
Taken mid-chest up, with both ears clearly visible.
-
Leave room above your head; ensure even lighting and sharp focus.
Why might my passport photo be rejected?
Common reasons for rejection include:
-
Using professional “headshot” photos
-
Not facing directly forward
-
Submitting scans of printed photos
-
Resizing or editing the photo
-
Wearing glasses
-
Taking selfies
💡 Tip: Have someone else take your photo — self-taken photos are often rejected.
