Turn your paper documents into digital files<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

When applying for support, you need to include every page of your attachments, and all the text must be easy to read. If an attachment is only one page, you can simply take a photo of it with your phone. If it has several pages, it\u2019s better to scan them so that the whole document is saved as a single file.<\/p>\n

Always check that all pages are included and the text is easy to read before submitting your application.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Does it look different on your phone?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Different phones and operating system versions may look different, so the steps above might not match exactly what you see on your screen. There are also other ways to scan documents besides the ones we\u2019ve shown here.<\/p>\n

      Unfortunately, FVO cannot provide technical support with scanning documents on your phone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      Have you got all your attachments ready?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

      Go through the attachment checklist before submitting your application. It shows you which attachments you need to include and helps you check that you haven\u2019t missed anything.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
