Hi, I know this has been asked before, I have searched the group and can’t find the answer. I’ve been asked to send photos of every passport page with the date and time on it, any suggestions on how to do this ? My phone setting won’t allow me to add a date and time stamp. 

*edit if I scroll up on a photo you can see date and time, but I would need to screenshot it for it show, will screenshots be accepted ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks advice on how to provide photos of every page of their passport with a visible date and time stamp, as requested by a Thai consulate. They mention that their phone does not allow for direct timestamping, and they consider whether screenshots showing timestamps would be acceptable. The community responds with suggestions including using a PDF editor for timestamps, taking photos beside a newspaper for the current date, and consulting a local print shop for professional help.

I would go to a local print shop or photographer and ask if they can do it. Otherwise any kind of image editing app or even google docs would do.

What phone? Surely a timestamp app can be loaded and used. Check your camera settings carefully for timestamp setting.

You could add it all to one PDF and date and time stamp it with Docu sign the use a PDF compressor to get the size down
