Documents to Send Right Now
Prepare and send these while contacting us. The faster we receive complete documents, the faster processing begins.

White or plain light background. Face centred, eyes open, no glasses, no hat. Taken recently. JPG or PNG, minimum 600x600px, under 2MB. Non-compliant photos are the most common cause of rejection.
