Step 1:
Select to 'start' your ID check from your to-do list, you will then be given an introduction to the task. When you're ready to begin please press 'Next.'
Step 2:
The Thirdfort App will then advise you on how to position your face when taking your selfie later in the task. When you are ready to proceed please press 'Continue.'
You will then be advised of the order of your tasks to scan your ID document and then provide your selfie. When you are ready to begin please press 'Choose Document.'
Step 3:
You will then be presented with the option to select the country that issued your ID. Once selected you will be presented with the supported types of ID you can use for the selected country.
Once you have selected the type of ID you wish to use the app will then ask for permission to access your device camera. Without this, you will be unable to photograph and submit your ID. When you are ready to start please press 'Enable Camera.'
Step 4:
Once you have pressed "Enable Camera' you will be asked to confirm this on screen. Once confirmed your device camera will turn on and you will see a box on the screen to align your ID with.
Please hold your device directly above your ID with the corners of your ID aligned to the corners of the box on the screen. When your ID has been detected this box will turn green and you will see a tick appear on the screen. For more guidance on photographing your ID check out our top tips here.
