Important: Don't send a picture of your ID card unless you put a watermark on it. This is an app that will help you do that.
Some banks, businesses, or online services may ask for a copy of your National Identity Document (DNI) to make sure you are who you say you are. But sending this document without protection can be very risky if it gets into the wrong hands. What happens if someone steals your identity and pretends to be you or commits fraud? We'll tell you.
To avoid problems, it's best to add a watermark to your ID photo so its purpose is clear and it can't be fraudulently reused. Fortunately, there are tools like the Add Watermark app for Android that make this easy. In this guide, we'll explain step-by-step how to send your ID securely.
Imagine needing to send your ID to an online car rental service or register with an online bank. If you send the image as is, anyone with access to that file could use it for other purposes without your consent. Watermarks help prevent these kinds of risks by leaving a visible mark indicating the specific purpose of the shipment.
The benefits of using a watermark on your ID are as follows:
- Preventing identity theft.
- Please indicate the reason for sending (e.g., "For car rental processing only").
- It made it difficult to use it for other purposes without your consent.
- You can add an extra layer of security by customizing your branding.
Since you already know the great advantages of doing this, we will explain how to do it quickly and without leaving your phone.
- Open the app and select "Add watermark."
- Choose your ID photo from the gallery.
- Enter the watermark text (example: "Valid only for processing at Bank X").
Customize the text.
- Save the image with the watermark applied to it.
- Send it securely, knowing that it can only be used for the purpose you specified.
