Are there any tips for taking photos with the ASB ID app?
Last Updated: 25 Mar 2021
The ASB ID app takes a scan of your face, selfie-style. A clear image makes it easier to confirm your identity. Follow these simple tips for best results:
- Hold your phone vertically, directly in front of you.
- Remove anything blocking your face, like a hat or sunglasses. Normal glasses are OK but avoid glare on the lens.
- Ensure nobody else is in the background.
- The app shows an oval on the screen. Centre your whole head within the oval.
- Avoid shadows or very bright light on your face. Stand in indirect sunlight or in a well-lit room.
- Keep still and hold your phone still. The app will scan your face selfie-style, and shine different coloured lights to simulate different lighting conditions.
