How to take a high-quality photo of your ID, passport, or French residence permit?
Last updated: May 20, 2025
The photo of your ID is taken live during the KYC (identity verification) step. You will be asked to take a photo or video of both your identity document and your face.
Our system will verify that the two match and that the document is valid.
Make sure to:
Clean your phone camera lens
Hold your phone steady without shaking
Properly frame all four corners of the document
Make sure all details are clearly legible by zooming in 🔎
After taking the photo, confirm that the information is readable.
If you have any doubts about the image quality, feel free to retake the photo before submitting it.
If you encounter any issue, contact us at onboarding@hero.fr, providing as much detail as possible along with screenshots, so we can escalate the matter to our verification partner.
