How it works
- Upload each document into its slot — a green tick means it's valid; a red cross tells you what to fix.
- Need the photo? Passport Photo Ready makes one to spec. An oversized PDF can be shrunk with PDF Under a Size.
- Build one PDF or a ZIP, print everything (photos excluded), or print a blank checklist first.
Frequently asked questions
What documents are needed?
The table above lists the common set for UK. Exact requirements vary — confirm the official checklist for your visa type.
Can I print my documents?
Yes — individually or the whole set as one PDF. Photos are excluded from printing (they're for uploads).
A PDF was skipped when building.
Password-protected PDFs (like some bank statements) are no longer skipped — the pack asks for the password while it builds. A file is only skipped if the password was not given.
Is it private?
Yes — every check, merge, ZIP and print happens in your browser and is never uploaded.
