Updated this week

Please follow the required procedure and upload:

📄 A color photo of the original of one of the following valid Italian documents:

  • Identity card (paper format or plastic card)

  • Passport

  • Driver’s license

  • Residence permit

🤳 A selfie of your face.

Important: The data on the document must match the information in your Scalapay account.

How to take the selfie

  • Take the photo in a well-lit place.

  • Look directly at the camera, including your face and shoulders (like a passport photo).

  • Do not use a photo of a photo.

  • Do not upload images with other people or with your face partially covered.

  • Do not crop the photo from the document: it will not be accepted.

How to photograph the document

  • Use clear, sharp, color photos without blurring.

  • Place the document on a flat surface (not in your hand).

  • Remove any cover or holder to avoid reflections.

  • All four corners of the document must be visible.

Depending on the type of document:

  • Paper identity card or Plastic identity card : photo of the inside (front, with photo and personal details) and photo of the outside (back) of the open document.

  • Driver’s license: photo of the front and back.

  • Passport: photo of the page with personal details.

Tips for a faster verification

  • Use a well-lit environment, without flash.

  • Avoid blurry photos or photos with reflections.

  • Remove the document from its holder.

  • Check that the data in your Scalapay profile matches the data on the document.

📌 By following these instructions, verification will be faster and without delays.
