How to Photograph Identification Documents for a CAC Application
A readable document image helps the filing team verify details before uploading. A sharp picture of the whole document is more useful than a filtered or tightly cropped image.
Quick answer
A readable document image helps the filing team verify details before uploading. A sharp picture of the whole document is more useful than a filtered or tightly cropped image.
A practical checklist
Use even light and remove glare.
Keep every edge and all text visible.
Compare the image against the portal's current upload instructions.
An example to work through
If a date is blurred, retake the photograph. Do not edit the date or reconstruct missing text in an image editor.
Your next step
Use this checklist to prepare a clear instruction and identify anything that still needs advice. Filing requirements and outcomes depend on your entity and circumstances; confirm current official instructions before acting.
