A Selfie Photo

Take a good, clear selfie for scanning. Use a plain background and avoid having anything distracting in your photo.

For PWDs and minors: An Authorized Representative/Signatory

If someone has a hard time doing the SIM registration because of a disability, someone they trust can do it for them. And if you’re younger, your parents or guardians have to register the SIM card for you.

For Foreigners and Business Entities

People from other countries and companies might need to give different papers, like travel papers, tax papers, and business permits.
