With a photo on the card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and on the inspector's screen, you see at a glance whether the card belongs to the person showing it.

Without a photo the scan warns and the card cannot go into the wallet yet. - The photo is on the card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, and appears on the inspector's screen as soon as the card is scanned. - The member adds the photo once through a link in the email. After that it is locked: swapping is only possible when you reset the photo in your dashboard. - The photo is stored privately, has no public address and is removed once the membership ends. # Short answer A membership, season ticket or subscription can now carry a **photo**. The photo is on the card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet and appears on the inspector's screen when scanning. The member adds it once; swapping only goes through you. # A QR code is forwarded in seconds A yearly pass for the swimming pool, a season ticket for the home games, a subscription to the zoo: they are in someone's name, but the card itself is a QR code. And you forward a QR code to your neighbour in ten seconds. Most organisations solve that with a plastic card with a photo on it. That works, but it costs printing, a desk and a drawer full of cards nobody collected. The digital card did not have that advantage, until now. # How it works **1. It is on by default.** Every card type has "Photo on the card" and "Photo required" ticked. If you do not want it for a card type, such as a donor card, you switch it off there. **2. The member adds a photo.** The email with the card contains a link. The member picks a photo, we crop it to a square and put it on the card. **3. The photo is on the card.** In Apple Wallet and Google Wallet it sits next to the name. If the card was already on the phone, it updates by itself. **4. The inspector sees it when scanning.** Next to "valid" or "expired" the photo is shown large. One glance is enough. This works in the browser check-in today; the scan app for iOS and Android follows. # Add once, then locked This is the part that matters. If a member could replace the photo themselves, the photo would be pointless: you put your neighbour's photo on it and pass on the card. That is why the member can add the photo **once**. After that the page is locked and only shows the photo, with a reference to you. Does someone rightly want a different photo, because the first is blurry or ten years old? Then you choose **Reset photo** in the member list. The member can then add a new one through the same link. You can also replace it yourself, for example at the desk. ![The member list in the dashboard: members with a photo next to their name and the buttons to replace and reset the photo](https://regify-mijnevent.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/blog/inline/pasfoto-ledenlijst-beheer.webp) # Careful with a photo A photo is personal data, and that is how we treat it: - the photo is stored privately and has no public address; - the dashboard and the scanner get a link that expires after a short time; - we store a reduced, cropped version, without the data a phone puts into a photo (such as the location); - the photo is removed once the membership ends, and when the visitor asks for deletion. Tell your members at sign-up what you use the photo for. For a card type with a photo we do that too, on the sign-up page. # Who is this for? Anywhere a card is in someone's name and used more than once: zoos and swimming pools with a yearly subscription, sports clubs with season tickets, museums and theatres with a friends' pass. # Getting started The photo is part of the Memberships & season tickets module and costs nothing extra. Switch it on for the card type where you want it; existing cards keep working and get the photo as soon as a member adds it. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## Is a photo mandatory? By default it is, and you can switch it off per card type. If the photo is required and missing, the card stays valid, but the inspector gets a warning when scanning and the member can only put the card in the wallet after adding the photo. ## Can a member replace the photo themselves? No, and that is the point. If they could, passing on a card would be a matter of putting another photo on it. If someone wants a different photo, you reset the photo in the member list. After that the member can add a new one through the same link. ## What if someone has no smartphone or cannot manage? Then you add the photo yourself in the member list, for example at the desk with the camera of a tablet. ## Does the pass on the phone change when the photo changes? Yes. A card that is already in the wallet is updated; the member does not have to add it again. The QR code stays the same. ## Who can see the photo? The member, your team in the dashboard and the inspector at the moment of scanning. The photo has no public address; the dashboard and the scanner get a link that expires after a short time. ## Is this an identity document? No. It is an aid to see whether card and person belong together. It does not replace identification.
