How requirements are sourced
PicsForm seeds rules from official URLs in our requirements catalog (travel.state.gov, gov.uk, canada.ca, etc.), last verified 2026-08-18. The report cites the document ID and source for transparency.
Fix failures in one flow
Hard failures link to /create with your document pre-selected so background, crop, and export fixes apply in a single session.
FAQ
- Which document should I select?
