For those who passed the exam...

When you took the photo of your ID, was the image and info flipped horizontally (Like this —> siht ekiL)?

i heard different scenarios. Not sure I need to set up my website a certain way. Will this make you redo the test?

So there’s some sort of correlation between getting an actual update and that email. Hmm I got that email on Tuesday so I’m hoping for a test invite in the next few days
Not enough data to suggest that. Lots of users received the email and so far no test invites for the majority

You don’t need to do any thing , just hold your card facing the camera and it will take the right picture for you. The

Well, I had to push the 'Take picture' button to take the picture. It did NOT automatically click the picture.
Will it be same case for both Photo as well as ID? I assume yes.

Do you think its because of your OS/laptop/camera related thing which made you to click?
I assume that the photos clicked will be displayed for you to verify and move further, correct?
So either case, if its not clicking by itself then i should click. I assume that there is a button in that page to capture/click the photo/image.

No, I think that is the way the system is designed. I held the health card in the green box within the square and then clicked the button (I think it was called 'Take Photo', I don't remember). It'll show the photo you clicked and you'll see the options to either 'Approve' this photo or take the photo again. I had to do this several times to get the best possible quality - As long as the name, DOB and the ID# are visible clearly without issues, you should be good. The photo quality still wasn't great but I was able to read the contents of my ID without issues.

Same for your photo, you look into the camera and ensure your face is inside the green oval and then click on 'Take Photo' button. It'll click your photo. You can then proceed to take the test.
