Worth knowing
- The passport data page is uploaded too: PDF, TIF, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP or HEIC, up to 2 MB recommended, 640 × 480 px or larger, one page, with the two machine-readable lines at the bottom sharp and the right way up.
- Supporting documents are recommended at up to 2 MB, at most 50 pages. If you have several, the FAQ says to combine them into one PDF; the photos to PDF and compress PDF tools do that.
