How to Scan a Document with your Phone
Follow these easy tips to provide digital copies of your required documents during the loan process.
-
Step 1
Place the document on a dark, flat surface in a well-lit area. Make sure there are no shadows on the document.
-
Step 2
Hover your phone over the document keeping your phone parallel to the floor. Don’t take the photo at an angle.
-
Step 3
Get as close as possible to the document while keeping all 4 corners in the photo frame.
-
Step 4
Make sure the photo is in focus. You may need to move the phone around slightly or tap the screen to focus.
-
Step 5
Zoom in and review. Is everything in focus? Is all the info visible? Is the entire document in the photo?
-
Step 6
Attach the picture to an email or text message. Send to your KTL loan officer or processor (whoever requested the info).
There′s an app for that!
If you have a multi-page document, it may be easier to use a scanning app.
