Step 1: Choose if you are using your phone’s camera or a scanner to make copies of your documents.

TIP: If you don’t have a phone, you can visit your local library and ask for help to use their scanner.

Step 2: Take photos of your document

Open your phone’s camera and take a photo of the front of your document.

Next, turn over the document and take a photo of the back (if needed).

Step 3: Save these photos to the right location

Open your phone’s photo album.

Select the two latest photos you’ve just taken.

Click ‘Share’.

TIP: This icon might look different depending on your phone, so look for something that looks like this.

Transfer your photos to your computer, either by emailing it to yourself, or connecting your phone to a computer via a cable.

Save your photo to the selected folder on your computer or your phone.

Step 2: Make copies of your document

Place your document face down on the scanner. If the document is small (such as a licence), add a blank sheet of white paper on top.

Press the ‘Scan’ button on your scanner.

Follow the instructions on your scanner or computer to complete the scan.

Step 3: Save the scanned document to the right location

Once the file is scanned, you can save it to the right location on your computer.

You can also transfer a copy of the document to your phone, either by emailing it to yourself, or connecting your phone to a computer via a cable.
