Hi guys,

How good does the resolution of the back of the Green card have to be? I have scanned mine for a few different things like when we bought our home for example and that darn hologram just looks like a black strip. Any ideas how to make the resolution better?

Thanks,

Kat

We just used a copy machine and it seems to be good enough for CSC, they already scheduled Claudeth's biometrics.

I believe when scanning/copying it won't show, but as a black strip. Don't worry about it, use what you have.

yeah, that's the whole point of the hologram - it doesn't photocoy and is a security feature of the card.
