Can't you just download your picture and crop it on the website. For SSI that's possible...

Okay cool I'll just use the passport guide then.
I just didn't want to print this out and then they don't accept it or something lol.
I overthink and overresearch EVERYthing.
Yeah I did my checkout dives for OW and AOW in Grand Cayman and they filled out the back of the forms and I fill out the front then mail it in. The front has a spot for you to attach a picture. I'll just follow passport guidelines and do it that way.They must've changed something. In 2005 (OW) and 2006 (AOW) at 2 different shops (and countries), the shops took my picture right in the shop. For my MSD (2008) card I provided my own and used that one also for DM (2011). But that was because I wanted a better picture. Don't shops take the picture anymore? Do you send in your own application now for OW cert.? Guess I'm a dinosaur.
The instructor (or shop) prepays for the certification card by purchasing a paper PIC to mail in, or an eCard PIC. Only a shop/instructor can upload an electronic verification, not a customer. If you have a paper PIC, then that is the paid paperwork and you just complete and submit the form.I have a physical form that I have to mail in as I mentioned. One side was filled out by the instructors and one side was filled out by me. Is there someway I can just do this form online instead of mailing in a physical form? That would make it a bit easier instead of having to print out pictures and mail stuff in. This is the only way I know about it though as that is what I received after I did my course and dives.
