Scan the whole biodata page

This file proves the document identity and is not the applicant face photo. Keep the page separate when naming, selecting, and uploading files.

Show the page corners and the machine-readable zone so the document can be read. Do not crop the biodata page into a small detail image.

A passport-page file and a face-photo file serve different purposes. Check the selected file before each upload.
