It seems every country that moves to electronic travel authorization has an app that requires me to verify my passport with this method. I have a fairly new passport, issued in the last few years, and a recent phone… and this process is a huge pain. I need to massage my passport with my phone for a minute, maybe I get a bite, hold it still… oops, start over… try again… okay, use our partner’s face ID recognition service instead… ugh it’s horrible.
I don’t know if the issue is the very low power chip in the passport, or some damage or what… but I dread the process any time I need to do it.

Let's try lower, 72dpi, "Thank you". Back, let's start at 72dpi, since that worked for the front. "Unable to read a barcode in the image". Higher, 200dpi, "Unable to read a barcode in the image". 300dpi? "Thank you".
