How many pictures can I attach?
Up to 5 pictures of up to 20 MB each. For more pages, photograph two pages at once, like a book spread, keeping the text sharp.
Can you read handwriting?
Yes, if it is legible. Words we cannot read with confidence are marked with [?] so you can check them.

No. We do not type identity documents such as passports, ID cards or driving licences.
