Minimum photo ID standards

The features a photo ID needs to have in order to be accepted and validated by Vouchsafe

Written by Jaye Hackett

We also offer generic validation of a much wider range photo IDs we don't have specific support for via our unfamiliar photo ID feature.

In order to be accepted, a photo ID must:

  • be a laminated plastic card, rather than a paper document

  • include a name and date of birth

  • include an expiry date

  • include a unique reference, issue or document number

  • include a photo of the person for biometric comparison

The information may be all on one side of the card, or spread across the front and the back.
