What can go wrong?
The document with which you are going through the identification process has expired. After you have completed the process, the message will read 'The document has expired, please try again with a valid document';
The surroundings are too dark for the camera. Make sure there is enough (day)light. And make sure the camera is clean.
If you have any problems, please contact the organization that sent you the identity request.
