Passport pages - scan

[abhishekasu]

What should be the order of scanning the passport pages?
Bio pages first (1st and last page) and then other pages with stamp
OR
Just scan from first to last page.

Also, what if, I have two passports?

Thanks

You're being too picky

Just scan the passport in order of the pages. I scanned all pages myself, including blanks.

You need to upload your current valid passport only.

Better to scan it from 1st to last page if you plan on uploading all the pages.

What if travel history spans another expired passport and has entry stamps - should we scan those pages as well?

Is it compulsary to scan blank pages too?
Or just first , last and pages with stamps.?

You must submit a legible copy of your valid travel documentwhich you will use to travel.

If you have a passport, you must provide a copy of:

the page that shows your birth date and country of origin, and
any pages with stamps, visas or markings.

No.

Depends where's your birth date and country of origin data.

I am about to submit my eAPR any day now and I haven't scanned blank pages of my passport, It got me worried after reading few posts where people commenting about scanning blank pages too. I just wanted to make sure that I am not making any mistakes since some people have got rejections for minor mistakes.

Thanks, +1 for you.

Unless you want to waste your time there is no need to upload blank pages.

No, instructions are clear, no need for blank pages. Some people put blanks also, but most do not. Rejections mostly happen because of incomplete applications, some of the documents missing or expired PCs.

Hi DelPiero,

Hope you are doing well! I need to request you for your advice again.

I saw a lot of discussion regarding this but not able to find anything conclusive: Do we need to scan and upload stamped pages and pages with visas from our old passports as well? If so, do we just merge the old passwords to immediately follow the pages of the current passport? Please let me know, thank you!

Only visas/stamps from your valid passport.

I uploaded everything in a merged doc and if i were doing this again, I would just upload the latest passport. That is the only one asked for. The rest they will ask if they need clarifications via ADRs.

It is impossible to upload all pages of passport in good quality! Especially a if you own 2 passports'.
What about only bio page ONLY they are asking for that, aren't they?

If you fiddle around with compression settings in Acrobat (150-200dpi etc), you can squeeze in as many as 3 full passports in colour scan with quality that is reasonably good. I did.
