A table, not a text
Most personal documents are grids. Labels down one side, values against them, and a block of official marks at the foot. Rendering one means keeping that grid rather than writing a description of it, so the English version is read the way the original is read: find a label, look across. Anything else forces a reader to hunt for what should be obvious.
The parts people crop off
Photographs of identity pages routinely lose the outer border, the machine-readable strip, or the issuing line printed along an edge. Those are not decoration. The number, the issuing office and the dates live there, and a page missing them cannot be completed. Scanning the full rectangle, flat and in colour, removes the commonest reason a set comes back unfinished.
Values are copied, not interpreted
A reference number is a string rather than a word, so it crosses over exactly as printed. The same is true of a code in a corner or a two-letter country marker. Where a value is ambiguous on the original — a smudged digit, a handwritten overwrite — it is reported as ambiguous instead of resolved, because a guess dressed up as a fact is the worst thing a set like this can carry.
Rate, days, and the clean copy
The rate is £25 for each side as issued, so a small card printed both ways counts twice. Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days from a clean scan, with 24 hours on express. Where the source is a civil record rather than a card, Derby Register Office at Riverside Chambers, Full Street, Derby DE1 3AF issues fresh certified copies that scan far better than a worn original.
