You are required to provide a photo of your face.
We need to confirm the link between the applicant and the identity documents supplied.
The linkage is about security, and assurance that the application and identity documents represent the applicant.
You can conveniently take the picture from your mobile phone as selfie by holding the identification besides your face.
Desktop and laptop cameras have a lower resolution compared the smartphone. And we suggest you use the mobile phone to do your application. You can take pictures of the documents required and do the selfie with one of them, all with your mobile phone.
Please note you are only required to provide one photo as per the guidelines below.
- The selfie must be a clear, forward-facing photo of the individual, full face.
- The person must be holding one of the ID documents supplied next to their face.
- Remove any obstructions. No sunglasses, hats, masks, etc.
| Example of selfie | Outcome |
|---|---|
 | Correct image - Forward-facing photo, clear and holding an ID document |
 | Incorrect image - Missing ID and not clear |
 | Incorrect image - bad lighting |
 | Incorrect image - bad lighting |
 | Incorrect image - ID blocked or cut off |
