Helpful Technology Tips

First Tips on how to successfully complete the face scan

  • Check that your Wifi is allowing PANEEM to work, may have to turn off Wifi.
  • Ensure that there is good lighting (not too dark or too bright)
  • Remove anything that obscures your face (hat/glasses/mask)
  • Lean mobile device against a flat surface if it is difficult to hold it still 
  • Sit directly across from the mobile device to face the camera with your full face in view
  • Wipe the camera with a tissue to remove blur

Tips on how to successfully complete the document scan

  • Make sure the whole document appears in the frame and is readable. 
  • Do not hold the document immediately in front of the camera – it will make the image appear blurry; move back slightly before taking the image. 
  • Do not cover the document with your fingers
  • Lay the document on a blank, flat surface and position your phone directly over the document to capture the image
  • Make sure that it is not too dark or too bright (if there is glare on the image it may not be readable)
