Updated over a week ago

If you're having trouble adding your ID, here are some things to look out for as well as some tips & tricks to help Envie's camera scan your ID:

Make sure the area is well-lit

  • Make sure you're scanning your ID in a well-lit area against a contrasting background.

  • Dim rooms, flash glares, and similar-color backdrops can make it difficult for Envie to scan your ID.

Rotate your ID and/or camera

  • Rotating your phone and/or your ID to its side 90º can sometimes make it easier for Envie to read your ID's barcode.

Give Envie camera access

  • It's possible Envie hasn't been granted access to your phone's camera yet.

  • Check your phone's settings to make sure camera access for Envie is turned on.

Check for barcode damage

  • If the barcode on your ID is damaged, smeared, or worn, that could be why you're having trouble.

  • As we work on an update to enter your ID details manually, it could be time to get a replacement ID!

Make sure everything is updated

  • Sometimes things can get wonky if your app and/or phone aren't up-to-date!

  • Check for any updates, restart your phone, & try again.
