- Document owner: confirm whose photo ID is shown before choosing which details are necessary for this request and which can remain concealed.
- Document type: distinguish the current photo ID handling record from superseded copies.
- Validity: check the date and condition visible on the photo ID before deciding whether its copy belongs in the final file.
- Requested route: follow the stated photo-ID handling path rather than defaulting to an upload.
- Handling instruction: preserve whether the recipient asked to see an original, receive a copy or use another route.
