Frequently asked questions
Why watermark an ID document?
If the copy is stolen or reused, the recipient and date written on it make it hard to use for identity theft.
Can the watermark be removed?
The document is flattened into an image with the watermark built in: it cannot be removed like a separate layer.
What should I write?
For example: “Copy for X agency, rental application – 03/12/2026”. Be specific about the recipient and purpose.
