Pick the document.

Pick the document. We load published rules. You get Ready / Review / Retake — not a visa prediction.

Face Integrity: no facial reshaping or beauty filters. Crop / backdrop only when the ruleset allows.

1. Choose country & document

Passport, visa, ID, residency, or license — each loads its own size, head band, eye line, background, and expression policy.

  • Exact document rules
  • Not a generic template

2. Upload or capture

Live camera lights guide distance, head position, eye line, lighting, and background.

  • Phone camera OK
  • No-face uploads blocked

3. Identity-safe prep

Where the document allows it: background replacement and geometric crop only.

  • No beauty filters
  • Rules-gated transforms
