Uploading your documents

If you’ve already uploaded everything, tap I have uploaded everything to move to the next step.

If you still need to upload more:

  1. Tap + Upload document.

  2. Select the document type.

  3. Tap Continue.

  4. Choose how you’d like to upload it (for example, take a photo or choose from files).

  5. Select or capture the document and tap Add.

You can repeat this process as many times as needed by tapping + Upload document again.


If you want to upload a different document type, just select a new type and follow the same steps.


Uploading a document that isn’t listed

If you don’t see the specific document type you’re looking for, you can still upload it:

  1. Select Other from the list of document types.

  2. Upload your document as usual.

If you think a specific document type should be added, please share your feedback with us at [email protected].
