Watermark a copy of your ID or passport before sending it

Someone asks for a copy of your ID, residence permit, or passport: a hotel, a letting agent, a car rental desk, a recruiter. The copy leaves your hands and you have no idea where it comes to rest. Write on it who it is for, what it is for, and the date, and a copy that leaks later is no longer usable anywhere else.

Write the recipient, the purpose, and the date

A mark that only says Copy or Not valid for transfer achieves nothing, because it fits any use at all. What works is the three together: the organization, the purpose, and the date. A practical example: For Al Wafa Real Estate lease registration, 12 September 2026. Whoever ends up with that copy cannot hand it to a bank or a telecom, because it announces on its face that it was made for one purpose that has passed. Keep the text small enough that the name, number, and photo stay readable, since the organization asking for it needs those.

A watermark limits reuse, it does not hide the numbers

This should be said plainly. A watermark is drawn over the page and removes nothing underneath it: the ID number and the date of birth stay readable. If you need a specific field permanently hidden, use the Khallas Redact PDF tool, which actually removes what it blacks out from the file, or cover the field on the paper before you photograph it. What the mark does is bind the copy to one organization and one date, and that alone defeats most reuse.

If your ID is a phone photo

The common case is a photo you took with your phone rather than a PDF. Convert it first with the images to PDF tool, then bring it back here and add the mark. This is exactly where it matters that the work happens inside the browser: the picture of your ID is not uploaded to any server at either step, and never passes through anyone else's machine. This is the point where the architecture stops being a slogan and becomes the reason to use it.

Three steps, that's it

  1. If it is a photo, convert it to PDF first, then drop the file into the tray

  2. Type the organization, the purpose, and the date, sized so the number stays readable

  3. Press add watermark and download the copy made for that one recipient

Frequently asked questions

Will organizations accept a watermarked copy?

Usually yes, as long as the name, number, and photo stay legible. If one refuses, it is fair to ask why it needs a copy carrying no limit on its purpose.

Does the watermark hide my ID number?

No. The mark is drawn over the page and deletes nothing beneath it. To remove a number for good, use the Redact PDF tool, which blacks out an area and removes the text underneath from the file. This tool only adds a mark on top.

Is my ID uploaded to a server?

No. The file is opened and processed inside your browser and never leaves your device, neither when converting to PDF nor when adding the mark.
