• UK passport
• non-UK passport with a biometric chip
• UK biometric residence permit (BRP)

You will also need:
• a well-lit area where you can take a good quality photograph
• an Android phone running Android version 10 or higher
How it works
If your photo ID is a driving licence you will:
• take a photo of your driving licence

If your photo ID is a passport, BRP, BRC or FWP you will:
• take a photo of your photo ID
