What requirements must the uploaded photo meet?
The photo should be a clear, frontal portrait without headgear or sunglasses. The background is automatically removed, so there are no special requirements for the shooting location.
The uploaded photo for employee ID cards, photographs or driver's licenses must meet the following requirements: It should be a clear, frontal portrait in which the face is clearly recognizable - without headgear or sunglasses. The background of the original is irrelevant, as Photo Collect automatically removes it and replaces it with a uniform background.
These specifications fulfill essential security and compliance requirements:
- Frontal and close-up: Biometrically relevant features (eyes, nose, mouth) must be clearly visible - important for ID cards, access controls and data comparisons with existing identity documents.
- Without accessories: Headgear or sunglasses would interfere with biometric recognition procedures and are therefore rejected.
- Automatic background processing: This eliminates the need for time-consuming instructions about the surroundings and ensures visual uniformity - ideal for print shops, ID system integration and CI-compliant corporate design.
In addition, the system can be configured so that only biometric ID standards such as ICAO apply. If manual quality control is activated, Photo Collect can generate passport photo-compliant images in accordance with ICAO rules - including options for closed mouths or neutral facial expressions.
Photo Collect offers a photo upload process that meets the highest security and compliance standards while relieving HR and security teams of manual rework.
