My CEA card upload failed, what shall I do next?

Please do not upload the same photo again - it will fail.

Check the checklist above and then retake.

All failed documents go through to manual review and we will contact you with the reasons why or if it was due to the lighting and we were able to approve it manually you will receive a Welcome email.
