Optimize document recognition

Introduction

Below are some rules to follow to prevent your documents from being properly recognised by our services.

Accepted formats

Accepted file formats are:

– PDF-

images (png / jpg / webp etc)

Number of files per submission

The product only accepts one file as an attachment (only the first file will be processed): it is therefore not possible to add the front on one page and the back on a second page.

Background of photos and scans

One of the most important points is to pay attention to the background of the document, especially in the case of photos: you should favor uniform and light backgrounds, and avoid dark and non-uniform backgrounds.

Examples:

Dark background Authenticity Verification Identity
R
Rotation Valid Document Identity

Cropping

It is not necessary to crop the documents before submitting them, but if the latter is not detected it may be necessary to crop/rotate it before submission:

R
Contrast Valid Document Identity

Front / back

The order is not important in the case of a front and back on the same page:

R

Contrast

The documents can very well be scans or photos, so placed in an A4 page or a background: this is not a problem.

However, you must make sure that the contrast is sufficient for the edges of the map or document to be visible.

Rotation

Documents can be tilted without any problems.

On the other hand, a 90° orientation should be avoided, which will block detection:
