While submitting Aadhaar , make sure the front and the back side of the card is printed on the same page
Always submit a colour copy of the original document wherein the details are clearly legible
If the identity proof has an expiration date, it should be clearly displayed
While uploading – the selfie image, make sure – authorized representative’s face is clearly visible holding the proof of identity in one hand and the other hand should hold a handwritten piece of paper containing the current date in the MM/DD/YYYY format
Always use a flat color background (e.g. a white wall) for better image clarity
