A blurry or out-of-focus image prevents the system from authenticating your document correctly.

If the PALIDIN WebID app tells you the document image you captured is blurry, follow these steps to prevent blurriness and make sure you capture a sharp and high-resolution image of your document:

  • Clean the camera lens on your device

  • Clean the document of any dust/dirt/grime

  • Remove the case from your phone as it may sometimes create a shadow effect on the device

  • All users should center the document in the frame and ensure it covers 85-90% of the available space in the phone screen.

  • While capturing the document image, hold the device as steadily as possible and allow the camera to focus (you can tap the screen to force the camera to focus) before clicking the white button to capture the picture.While capturing the document image, hold the device as steadily as possible and allow the camera to focus (you can tap the screen to force the camera to focus) before clicking the white button to capture the picture.

If the app continues to give you a blurry score on the image, check the following on your device:

  1. Do you have the latest version of the OS installed on the device?

    1. If yes, continue to step# 2.

    2. If no, install the latest OS version and try again.

  2. Restart/Reboot the device

  3. Are you using the native mobile browser for the device? (i.e. Safari for Apple, Chrome for Android, etc.)

    1. If yes, continue to step# 4.

    2. If no, copy the URL link from the authentication invitation that you received and paste it into the native mobile browser for your device

If after completing all troubleshooting steps you continue to have an issue, we recommend using a different device to complete the authentication process.

If the issue persists, please provide the following information: device make, model, OS version, and mobile web browser name to our support team.
