Why watermark your supporting documents

ID cards, tax returns, pay slips: these documents get passed around a lot when you rent a home or apply for a loan. A watermark showing the recipient and the date makes them much harder to reuse for fraud.

Frequently asked questions

What is a watermark for?

To mark a document as confidential, a draft or a copy. For example, writing “Copy for rental application – Agency X” across your supporting documents makes them much harder to reuse fraudulently.

Does the document stay readable?

Yes: the watermark is semi-transparent. Adjust the opacity so it stays visible without getting in the way of reading.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. The watermark is added in your browser; your ID documents or pay slips never leave your device.
