Collecting ID photos usually means scheduling people to sit in front of a camera on-site. Remote photo capture lets employees, students or contractors submit their own badge photo from a phone, laptop or tablet — wherever they are — so your team can review and approve it before it ever reaches the printer.
Each person receives a link to submit a photo from any device with a camera. Guidelines (framing, background, no hats or sunglasses) help first-time submissions come back usable. Your badge administrators review each photo in an approval workflow — accepting it, or requesting a resubmission — before it’s attached to that person’s badge record and sent to print.
Schools can collect student ID photos ahead of a badge-printing day instead of running every student through an in-person photo line, and can collect photos remotely for students who miss picture day.
Enterprise and multi-site organizations can onboard new hires and issue a badge before day one, even for remote or hybrid employees who may never visit a physical office, and can collect photos from contractors or vendor staff without scheduling an on-site visit.
Pair remote photo capture with Cloud ID Badging to design, approve and print badges entirely from the cloud — no on-site photo station or server required.
