Questions about this tool

Is a copy with a watermark still accepted?

Usually, yes: the person you send it to can still see who you are. The watermark only makes the copy useless for anything else. If an office asks for a copy without one, ask them why first.

What should I cover?

Whatever the other side doesn't need. That is often your national number (in Belgium the national register number, in the Netherlands the citizen service number) and the code lines at the bottom, which hold your details in machine-readable form.

Are the black boxes really permanent?

Yes. The copy is a new picture: what is under a box is gone, not hidden. A PDF of your ID becomes a picture too, so no text is left underneath.

Are my files really not uploaded?

Yes. Your browser does all the work on your device. You can check it yourself: turn off your Wi-Fi after the page has loaded and the tool keeps working.
