Confirm which pages are actually required

Read the visa instructions first. Many portals ask for the identity page, amendment pages, or recent visa history, not every scanned page.

Avoid over-sharing by extracting only what the application requires.

Extract the relevant pages

Use the page numbers from the full scan to create a smaller passport subset. After export, confirm the page order and legibility in a separate viewer.

If the portal needs additional supporting files, merge those only after the passport subset is correct.

Treat identity documents as high-sensitivity files

Passport scans carry more information than many applicants realise. Keep the extraction step local and avoid creating unnecessary extra copies.

When the final file is ready, check size limits and portal rules before upload.

FAQ

Should I upload the full passport scan if only one page is requested?

Usually no. Upload only the pages the application instructions require.

Can I extract passport pages without uploading the scan?

Yes. The extraction step runs locally in your browser.

When should I merge supporting files?

After you confirm the passport subset is correct. That keeps the identity-document step easier to review.

What should I verify before portal upload?

Check page order, image readability, file size, and whether the final file matches the portal's requested document list.
