📸 How to Take a Perfect ID Photo
✅ Step-by-Step Photo Guide
- Use natural lighting – Take photo near a window during daytime. Avoid direct sunlight and flash.
- Place on flat surface – Lay ID on a dark, non-reflective background like a table or dark cloth.
- All four corners visible – Ensure entire ID is in frame. Do not crop edges.
- No glare or shadows – Adjust angle to avoid reflections on glossy IDs.
- Clear and readable – All text must be legible. Use steady hand or phone stand.
- No editing – Do not photoshop, alter, or enhance the image.
- File format – JPG or PNG, under 10MB per file.
- Front and back – Some casinos require both sides of driver's license. Check requirements.
❌ Common Reasons for ID Rejection
- Blurry or out-of-focus – Retake with steady hand, better lighting
- Expired ID – Renew before submitting
- Cropped image – Show full ID with all corners
- Glare on document – Avoid flash, use natural light
- Name mismatch – Ensure account name matches ID exactly
- Wrong document type – Submit government ID, not student or work ID
- Poor lighting – Too dark or too bright, causing unreadable text
- Hand covering part of ID – Hold by edges only
