Can I use scans taken with a Phone?
Unless otherwise requested, or no other options are available, please send documents scanned on a scanner; high resolution scans are always preferred. Scans and photos taken with a phone or camera can cause the writing to appear skewed.
Can I use copies or pictures?
Original documents are always preferred for the best analysis. However, we understand that originals are not always obtainable – please send high resolution scans (not pictures, or phone captures) of 300DPI or higher. Please be advised that the quaility, clarity and quantity of the documents received has a bearing on the outcome of the examination.
