- GUIA PARA DIGITALIZAÇÃO DE DOCUMENTOS

Requirements:

Single File Size and Type

Acceptable file types include .pdf (preferred) .jpg, and .jpeg

Each individual file (scanned document) must be no larger than 2 MB (megabytes).

Scan and upload your multiple page document, such as your I-864, as one file. If the
document size is more than 2 MB, compress the file.

“Zipped” files, modifiable PDFs, or password-protected files will not be accepted.

Image Quality

Your scans must:

• Be in color.

• Include the front and back side of any document that has stamps, seals, or
writing on the back.
• Include a certified translation of your document with your original (i.e. foreign
language) document in a single file. Please note that a translation is not
required for documents in the language of the country where your visa
interview will take place.

• Be clear, easily seen and read, and no parts of the document are cut off.

• Oriented so it can be read across the screen without the need to rotate the
document.
Most scanning programs offer a preview function so you can make sure the
document is easily read. If you cannot read the scanned document, re-scan it at a
higher resolution. Keep in mind this means the saved file will be larger and you may
need to compress the file before you upload it.

Type or use a pen to complete forms and sign them by pen to ensure the writing can
be seen on your scan.

Compressing a File

Compression means saving your document in a smaller file size. This not only allows
the file to take up less space on your hard drive but also means it can be uploaded
or e-mailed much faster. However, not all file types are easily compressed. Most
computer operating systems include an option to compress a file. This option is often
found under “File” or “Save,” or appears when you right-click on a file name in a
navigation screen. Look on the “Help” tool in your computer operating system for
more information on what is available to you.

There is also third-party compression software available, both at no cost and for
purchase. Please remember, the Department of State cannot accept files that have
been “zipped.”
