How we create and verify content
Our pages are working guides built from cited requirements. This policy explains where automation helps, where a person checks the work, and what readers should verify before submitting an application.
AI-assisted drafts, human-verified claims
We may use AI assistance to organize research notes, outline a page, or produce an early draft. AI output is not treated as evidence. Before publication, a person reviews substantive requirements against the source recorded for that specification and removes claims the cited material does not support.
Human verification reduces errors; it does not make a page an official instruction or an acceptance guarantee. Application rules can also change after a review.
What verification means
We prefer the responsible government department, embassy, exam board, or application portal. A specification marked as verified includes the review date and a link to the source used. When only secondary guidance is available, the page should say that the source needs review instead of presenting it as government-confirmed.
The implementation details are documented in our source methodology.
Publishing standards
- Use primary official sources where they are available.
- Do not describe easyPhoto as a government service or official tool.
- Do not promise a favourable application decision for a prepared file.
- Separate measurable image properties from visual estimates.
- Tell readers to confirm the current application instructions.
Updates and accountability
A displayed review date records when the cited requirement was last compared with its source; it is not a promise that the authority has made no later change. If something looks wrong, use our corrections policy to report it.
