Verifying your ID on your Snapdocs notary Signing Agent account is not a requirement, but it can help with receiving signing notifications.
Although PDF files can be uploaded for most of your credentials, they aren't compatible with ID verification. Jumio, the third-party verification system we use, cannot process PDF files that are not image files.
These are the only file formats that can be accepted for the ID verification process
-
JPG/JPEG
-
PNG
Use this article for how to verify your license. If you need to convert a PDF to a JPG/JPEG or PNG file complete the steps below.
Convert the PDF file by taking a screenshot
If you have a PDF file of the front and back of your license, there's an easy way to convert the file into a JPG/JPEG or PNG file. Screenshots are typically PNG or JPG/JPEG files, so taking a screenshot of the opened PDF file would convert it into the right file format.
Step 1: Open the PDF file on your computer or mobile device.
Step 2: Take a screenshot of the image of your license that's on the PDF file. If you're unsure of how to take a screenshot, this site offers clear instructions on how to do so based on the device you're using: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
Tip: Make sure that the screenshots you take are not blurry and that the entire license is visible.
Step 3: Go through the ID verification process and upload the corresponding screenshots of the front and back of your driver's license when prompted to do so.

Use your mobile device, tablet, or a camera to take a picture
Taking a picture with either a mobile device, tablet or camera will usually produce an image that is either a JPG/JPEG or PNG file.
Step 1: Use your phone, tablet, or camera to take a picture of the front and back of your license. You can also use any of those devices to take a photo of yourself if you don't have one already. In addition to an image of the front and back of your license, you'll also need to upload a photo of your face as the third and last step of the ID verification process.
Tip: Make sure that the photos you take are not blurry and that the entire license is visible.
Step 2: If you're using a mobile phone or tablet to take pictures, you can complete ID verification on that device. Just open up the browser on your device and log in to your account at app.snapdocs.com to go through ID verification. You can then upload the images you just took directly from your device when verifying your ID.
Alternatively, you can email yourself the photos that you just took or download them straight to your computer to complete the ID verification there.
