How to take a photo of yourself (selfie) holding a photo ID
Firstly you will need a smartphone, tablet or another digital device with a camera and your Identity document (ID) with a recent profile picture of yourself - such as your passport or photo driving license or aadhar.
Instructions
- Select a location that has good lighting to take your selfie
- Stand in front of a light background - this helps most camera settings
- Hold out your smartphone camera in front of your face - ideally using the screen side camera
- Face forwards with a neutral expression and hold your ID in your other hand next to your face with the profile picture visible
- Check that both your face and the ID can be seen clearly and are not covered
- Relax and take the photo
- Check the photo to make sure that both your face and ID are clear and in focus
