ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all,

I’m currently preparing my DTV application and was wondering-when uploading the passport scan, should it be cropped to the edges or is it fine to include the white space around it?

Thanks! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is preparing their DTV application and inquires whether they should crop their passport scan to the edges or if it's acceptable to include white space around the passport. A commenter suggests that it likely doesn't matter as long as the passport image is clear.
