Tips for preparing your documents

You can help speed up the review process by making sure your documents meet these criteria:

  • Provide official documents.
  • Meet the issue date requirements.
  • Make sure the documents clearly show your name, address (if applicable), dates, and the amounts or sources of income.
  • Include signatures or stamps if they are part of the official document.
  • Make sure documents are well-lit and fully visible, with no shadows, reflections, or cropped edges.
  • Include all pages if a document has multiple pages.
  • Provide documents in PDF format (JPEG or PNG are also accepted).

Tip

Upload your documents together in a single file when possible. This helps us review them faster.
