Scan passports with your phone

Step by step

Step by step

1. 1

   Step 1

   Open Scan passports

   On the Pilgrims page, click Scan passports. On a phone it opens your camera; on a computer you choose a photo.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Photograph the photo page

   Lay the passport flat in good light, with the two coded lines at the bottom fully in the picture. For Indian passports, add the last page too — it has the address and the parents’ names.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Or scan a whole group

   Choose A whole group at once and add many passport photos. They are read one after another and wait for you in the review queue.

   Step 4

   Check and save

   Each field shows whether it matched the coded lines. Look at anything marked to check, then save it as a new pilgrim or onto one already in your list.
