Authentication photo guide

Photo requirements vary by category and brand. Follow the current instructions and provide clear views of the requested details.

Prepare before taking photos

Use a well-lit space and a clear background. Avoid glare and strong shadows, keep the item in focus, and do not apply filters. Provide enough resolution to show the details.

Show the whole item and the details

Include the overall shape and the requested details, such as logos, stamps, hardware and stitching. Check the selector below and the application form for the actual required views.

Help the authenticator see clearly

  1. If the camera cannot focus at close range, move it slightly farther away.
  2. Change the light angle if glare obscures text or stamps.
  3. Show wear and repairs clearly, and include information about any accessories.

If further photos are needed

If the materials are insufficient, additional instructions will appear in your account. Review the requested details and submit new photos.
