Problem registering due to my photo ID- help?
Hi ladies! I am currently a model on mygirlfund and also on MFC. Let's just say that MFC is NOT the place for me and I am looking to start camming on different sites to make some real money. I was on Streamate last year when I first started but I was working under the studio (before I knew any better). Traffic was good at the time but I've read that SM has changed a lot since last year so I want to try a new site altogether.
My problem is I don't have a scanner so I have to submit my photo ID via picture. This worked just fine when I registered for MFC, MGF, and SMW (back when I was on there for all of 3 days), but trying to register for ImLive is driving me crazy! I tried taking a close up shot of my passport so all my information such as my bday was clear, but they complained that I need to have all 4 corners of the passport in the photo. Which is fine, except when I retook the picture so the entire passport was in the shot they complained that the numbers weren't clear enough. I've tried resizing and have taken dozens of pictures but none of them are good enough.
My question is, do any of you have any recommendations on how to take an acceptable photo ID picture? It's hard because the passport is so shiny but I don't have a driver license. I don't have a digital cam either, just my webcam. Though like I said, other sites I've applied to and been approved on haven't complained about the ID verification quality? Maybe ImLIve just hates me :/ I've also applied to secretfriends, internetchatmodels, webcamjobs, and livecamnetwork, but I am still waiting to hear back from these sites. If you know of any other sites that accept online only registration I'd love to hear them :)

Oh if you had a digital camera I would recommend the macro feature. I don't know since you just have a web cam. Also, I think one or two of those sites you applied at are studios or really bad sites so I would be careful. If they don't tell you what % they pay, its probably a studio.

If buying an all-in-one printer is cost-prohibitive - do you live near staples, kinko's, a university, community college, local print shop, or a library? You can pay a few bucks (usually less) to get your ID + paper applications scanned.
If you're in the US many sites are beginning to require you fill out 1099s (tax forms), so gaining access to a scanner could be helpful
Unless they've changed their sign up process - ImLive seems to reject most applications the first few times (really), def par for the course
But AdultWork and most independent listing sites do not require paperwork.
Re: Problem registering due to my photo ID- help?
Thank you, ladies! I live in a really ghetto town and there is no place (that I know of) to pay to scan applications. I do live by a library but they only have a printer and fax machine- no scanner :( Well, I was just approved on livecamnetwork. I'm thinking I'll start there and try it for a couple of weeks. If I do well then great, but if not at least I can earn enough extra money to buy myself an all in one scanner and apply to some of the better sites.
Re: Problem registering due to my photo ID- help?
what about a cell phone picture? that might be clearer than your webcam
Re: Problem registering due to my photo ID- help?
You're right about the cell phone, but sadly I don't have one. I know, I'm probably the only adult in the world without one, right? :/ I was just accepted to a bunch of sites without a problem, I'll just start there and apply elsewhere once I can buy a scanner if I find I'm not making as much as I'd like.
Re: Problem registering due to my photo ID- help?
I was starting to say Kinkos, but I kept reading. My advice would be to hit a friend or family member up to borrow their scanner. Tell them you had some issues with an unauthorized charge on your pre-paid credit card recently (If you don't have one, just say you do), and that in order to resolve the issue, you need to email a scanned copy of your photo ID.
Scan it, and then email it to yourself. When you get home, submit it to the company requesting it.

Next time, you should try the search function.
So much information at your finger tips.
Re: Problem registering due to my photo ID- help?
I've been on this site for the last 3 days reading up on everthing I can now that I am making the switch to camming full time. Trust me, I have used the search function more than once! You ladies are very helpful, thanks for the advice but my issue has finally been resolved, thank goodness.
