You've been asked by the embassy to submit your full passport, including blank pages. This request often catches DTV applicants off guard, but it's a straightforward verification step. We'll walk you through why the embassy wants every single page, how to prepare one clean, complete file, and what to avoid so your application moves forward without further delays.

What the embassy asked

The embassy has sent a “Request for Further Document” asking you to provide your entire passport—not just the bio-data page. This means they want to see every page, even the blank ones, so they can verify your travel history and confirm you have space for a visa stamp.

“Provide your full passport, including all pages (even blank ones)”

Why the embassy asks for this

The initial DTV application only requires your bio-data page, so a request for your full passport is a deliberate escalation. The officer wants your complete travel history—entry and exit stamps, previous visas, and any observation or amendment pages—to verify your identity and travel patterns.

Equally important, they need to see blank pages. The DTV requires at least two clear visa pages for the stamp. A scan showing every numbered page, including blanks, confirms your passport is genuine, current, and has the physical space needed. This is a straightforward check that, when satisfied, lets your application move on.

How to provide it correctly

Re-read the exact request email and take it literally: “all pages” means every numbered page—bio page, back/issuing page, all stamps, visas, and blank pages—with nothing omitted.
Lay your passport flat and scan or photograph each page individually in colour at about 300 dpi. Ensure full page visibility with no cut-off edges and no glare on the bio-data or machine-readable zone.
Keep pages in true passport order (page 1 onwards) and check the page-number sequence so it’s clear no page is skipped. Include inside front and back covers if they carry issuing authority or signature.
Combine all page images into one single file in passport order. The portal expects merged passport pages, so export as one PDF (or a single JPG if that’s what was specified).
Compress the merged file to stay within the e-visa portal’s upload limit (JPG/PDF, generally under ~3MB). Use a tool like iLovePDF or TinyJPG, ensuring text and stamps remain fully legible.
Before you submit, verify your passport is valid for six more months and has at least two genuinely blank visa pages for the stamp—this is what the reviewer is checking.
Upload only the requested full-passport file by replying to the same Request for Further Document or re-uploading within your existing application. Do not add extra unrequested documents.
Keep your email and phone reachable after re-submitting; the reviewer may follow up. Do not start a new application, as that can complicate the open one.

Common mistakes that cause rejection

Thinking “full passport” only means the bio-data page, because that’s all the original form asked for.
Leaving out blank pages to “save space,” not realising they are exactly what the embassy is verifying.
Uploading each page as a separate file or in random order, instead of merging everything into one in-sequence PDF.
Exporting a large multi-page PDF that exceeds the ~3MB limit, then either failing to upload or sending an unreadable, heavily compressed version.
Cropping or auto-trimming pages so edges, page numbers, or the machine-readable zone are cut off.
Starting a fresh DTV application or sending extra documents instead of simply replying to the open request with one complete passport file.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really have to scan blank pages too?

Yes. The request specifically says “including all pages (even blank ones),” so every numbered page must be in the file — none skipped. Blank pages prove the passport is complete and genuine and that there is room to stamp the DTV.

Should I send one file or many?

One single file in passport order. The e-Visa portal expects merged passport pages, so combine every page into one PDF (or one JPG if a single image was requested) rather than uploading loose page-by-page images.

What file format and size does the portal accept?

JPG/JPEG or PDF, generally under about 3MB per upload. If your merged passport file is too large, compress it with a tool like iLovePDF or TinyJPG while keeping all text and stamps legible.

My default application only asked for the bio page—why is the embassy now asking for everything?

The DTV is applied for online and the embassy only reviews your file. When it wants more, it sends a Request for Further Document, and asking for the full passport is a deliberate escalation to see your travel history and confirm blank visa pages. Reply with the complete scan to resolve it.

I left out a few pages and got the request again—is that why?

Almost certainly. Skipping any page, including blanks, is a direct rejection trigger for this request. Re-send a scan with every page, in order, with no gaps in the page-number sequence.

Can I just photograph the pages with my phone?

Yes, if each page is flat, evenly lit, glare-free, fully in frame with no cut-off edges, and sharp (aim for ~300 dpi quality). A scanner or scanning app is preferred because blurry, dark, or cropped captures are a common cause of re-rejection.
