How to scan your passport with your iPhone
Visa applications, hotels abroad and new employers often want a copy of your passport's photo page. A passport is a booklet that won't lie flat, which is why ScanMojo has a Passport mode made for it.
- 1
Choose Passport under the viewfinder
A guide shaped like an open passport appears, with dashes marking where the spine goes.
- 2
Lay the passport open
Open it to the photo page and line the spine up with the dashes.
- 3
Capture
Hold steady. ScanMojo crops to the passport and flattens the curve near the spine.
- 4
Find it in Passports
The scan is saved in the Passports folder, locked with Face ID or your passcode.
Printing at real size
Passport scans print at the passport's real size, which is what most consulates and offices expect from a copy.
Avoiding glare
The photo page is laminated and catches reflections. Scan away from direct lamps and turn the flash off; tilt the passport slightly if you see a bright spot on the photo.

Is it safe to keep a passport scan on my phone?
In ScanMojo it stays on your iPhone, encrypted with iOS data protection and behind Face ID. It's never uploaded.
Can I send the passport scan as a PDF?
Yes. Open it and tap Share › PDF.
