Step by step
Follow this sequence to keep the workflow clear and reduce avoidable mistakes.
- 1
Set controlled capture setup
Prepare background and lighting before shooting to reduce correction pressure later.
- 2
Capture clean candidate frames
Take several stable options and avoid relying on one borderline image.
- 3
Run requirements checks
Validate visibility, framing, and sharpness with a strict pass/fail checklist.
- 4
Upload only approved frame
Submit only when one frame clearly passes all pre-upload checks.
Common mistakes
These are the errors most likely to waste time or trigger a preventable rejection.
- Using low-light images that look acceptable only on small screens.
- Rushing upload without full-size frame review.
- Ignoring plain-background consistency.
- Retrying with the same weak source image.
Requirements that block uploads most often
Most failures come from quality misses that are visible only on full-size review.
- Soft focus and micro-blur in otherwise acceptable frames.
- Uneven background or distracting contrast near the face.
- Weak centering and inconsistent head framing.
- Submitting before pass/fail checklist is complete.
How to reduce repeat attempts
A strict quality gate before upload saves time and support churn.
- Use checker and requirements pages before final upload.
- Retake immediately when one repeated defect appears.
- Keep one clear approved frame as the final source of truth.
- Avoid route switching once requirements are already satisfied.
