How to Combine Passport, ID and Proof Documents into One PDF

Common problems with passport and ID document PDFs

• Passport, ID and proof documents are saved as separate photos.
• Pages are in the wrong order.
• Large scanner borders or table background make the document look messy.
• Some pages are sideways.
• Duplicate or old proof documents are included by mistake.
• File size is too large for upload or email.
• Names, dates, document numbers, signatures or stamps are not readable.

Best order for passport, ID and proof documents

1. Application form or cover page if required.
2. Passport bio page or main identity page.
3. Additional passport pages if the checklist asks for them.
4. ID proof.
5. Address proof.
6. Financial, employment, education or travel proof if needed.
7. Signed declarations or supporting documents at the end.

Always follow the official checklist first. Use this order only when no exact order is provided.
