iOS (iPhone and iPad) or Android app.
Just follow the procedure below:







Use proper lighting that does not cause reflections, do not take photo from a weird angle (take a photo from the top) and make sure that the ID number of the document is clearly visible.
After you submit it, you must wait at least 3 minutes to receive verification. Usually it takes around 5-15 mines, but it also can be longer – up to a couple of hours.
After it is finished, you will receive a notification email and it will pop in the phone menu also.
