Document guides

The right way to scan each kind of document — passports, ID cards, receipts, contracts, books and more — with the pitfalls specific to each.

How to scan a passport to PDF (data page done right)Scan your passport’s data page to a clean PDF with your phone: automatic page detection, MRZ-safe cropping and a privacy-first workflow. Scan an Aadhaar card to PDF (front and back, name detected)Make a clean, accepted Aadhaar PDF with your phone: both sides in one file, sharp card edges, and the printed name picked up automatically. Scan a driving licence to PDF (both sides, no glare)A clean driving-licence copy from your phone: front and back in one PDF, hologram glare handled, details readable — accepted by insurers and rentals. Scan any ID card, both sides, into one PDFThe universal two-sides-one-file method for national IDs, residence permits, insurance and student cards — plus how to keep small print legible. Scan a birth certificate to PDF (old paper, stamps and all)Digitise a birth certificate cleanly: handle aged paper, seals and folds; produce an archival PDF that offices accept. Scan receipts to PDF before they fadeThermal receipts fade to nothing — scan them the day you get them. Batch small receipts, keep totals legible, and file them so tax time is painless. Scan paper invoices to tidy PDFsTurn paper invoices into clean, well-named PDFs your accountant will love — consistent lighting, one invoice per file, and totals always readable. Scan a signed contract to PDF (multi-page, every signature clear)Digitise signed agreements properly: all pages in order, initials and signatures visible, file named so both parties find it in seconds. Scan handwritten notes so they stay readableNotebook pages, lecture notes, journals: how to scan handwriting cleanly — pen vs pencil, ruled lines, and multi-page note sets. Scan a whiteboard to PDF after the meetingCapture whiteboards clearly: kill reflections, shoot square-on, and turn the board into a straightened, high-contrast PDF page in one minute. Scan book pages to PDF without a book scannerPhotograph book pages so the curve doesn’t ruin them: one page at a time, spine tricks, and fair-use common sense for personal copies. Scan business cards into a contact-ready PDFDigitise a stack of business cards fast: crisp single-card scans, several cards per page when it fits, sensible naming for later search. Scan a medical prescription clearly (and privately)Send readable prescriptions to pharmacies and keep private copies: capture doctors’ handwriting, stamps and dosage lines without a cloud middleman. Scan lab reports and medical results for your recordsBuild a personal medical archive: scan lab reports with values readable, name files by test and date, and keep everything strictly on your device. Scan paper bank statements safelyWhen only paper statements exist: scan multi-page statements cleanly, keep account numbers sharp, and handle the file with bank-grade caution. Scan a utility bill for address proofUtility bills are the default proof of address. Scan yours so name, address and date are unmissable — and know what checkers reject. Scan certificates and diplomas (large formats, gold seals)Digitise degrees and certificates properly: handle A3-ish sizes, embossed seals and calligraphy so the scan looks as official as the paper. Scan old printed photos into a PDF albumPreserve printed photographs by scanning them like documents: glare-free capture of glossy prints, album pages, and a shareable PDF result. Scan visa pages and entry stamps from your passportImmigration paperwork often wants old visas and stamps, not just the data page. How to scan specific passport pages so every stamp stays legible.
