How to Photograph Documents Correctly for VEP Uploads

The #1 reason for VEP rejection is poor document photos. Here's how to get it right.

When you submit your VEP application, the JPJ officer's first interaction with your file is looking at the documents you've uploaded. If those images are blurry, dark, or cut-off, it's an instant rejection. Getting the photos right is the single most important step for a fast, smooth approval.

Take your photos during the day near a window with plenty of natural light. Do not use your phone's flash. The flash creates a harsh glare that reflects off the lamination of passports and log cards, making them unreadable.

Why risk the hassle? Taking compliant photos can be tricky. When you use MyMechanic's full VEP service, you eliminate this risk entirely.
