What is an ID shot and what should it look like?

An ID shot (also called an ID selfie) is an essential part of the verification process at VXmodels. This photo is used to ensure that you are the person shown on your ID document.

What should the ID shot look like?

✔ Your face and your ID document must be clearly visible.
✔ The photo must be in color and of good quality.
✔ Make sure that all relevant data on the ID is clearly recognizable:

  • your full name
  • your date of birth
  • your ID number

✔ Hold the ID clearly legible next to your face.

Which documents are allowed?

We only accept documents that meet international standards:

  • Identity card
  • Passport
  • Driver’s license

Other documents or incomplete copies cannot be accepted.

What should I avoid?

❌ Blurry or out-of-focus images
❌ Photos with poor lighting or strong shadows
❌ Partially covered information on the ID
❌ Filters or edits that could affect the authenticity of the image
