You may be asked to take a short video selfie as part of verifying your identity, whether you’re using Vouchsafe yourself or confirming someone else’s identity.
Use a place with good lighting; not too dark or too bright
Avoid strong light behind you (like a window)
Hold your device in front of your face, so it nearly fills the oval
Keep still once the scan begins
Turn up your screen brightness to full
