When passport scans are requested
Travel platforms, visa services, KYC providers, employers and relocation workflows may ask for a passport image. Each request should be treated as sensitive.
Passport watermark wording
Use phrases such as “For Example Visa application only”, “For Acme KYC verification only” or “For travel booking verification only”.
Avoid blocking machine-readable zones
Many passport checks need the name, photo, passport number, expiry date and machine-readable zone. Keep the watermark semi-transparent and avoid solid overlays.
Why local processing is useful
A local Chrome watermark workflow avoids uploading the original passport image to a separate watermarking service before sending it to the actual recipient.
FAQ
Can I watermark a passport scan?
