DocuVisa

Scan it once.
Find it in seconds.

DocuVisa keeps your passports, visas, ID cards and insurance papers on your phone: scanned with the camera, read on the device, found before the queue moves.

Free to use, with no account.

What it does

Point the camera at a page and DocuVisa does the rest on the phone itself. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing needs a connection.

The step after a scan: the passport page outlined with corner handles, with tools to turn, mirror and adjust it

Scan with your camera

The page is found, straightened and read on the phone, so a passport number is searchable the moment the scan is saved. PDFs and photos come in the same way.

A passport in DocuVisa: its name and type, its pages, and the buttons to add pages or share a copy

Every page, one document

Give it a type, a name and tags. Add pages, set the expiry, and share it as a PDF when a visa agent needs a copy.

Searching the vault for a surname, with the matching passport listed

Find it in seconds

Search by name, type, tag or any word on the page, however many documents you keep. There is no limit on any plan.

Know before it expires

Set an expiry date and DocuVisa reminds you 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before, and again the day before. A reminder on your lock screen says how many documents are expiring, never which.

Types, names and tags are yours to arrange: a trip, a person, the family's insurance.

Editing a document: type chips for passport, visa and ID card, then the name, expiry date and issuer

In your pocket, and on the table

DocuVisa runs on iPhone and Android phones, on iPad, and on the phones that fold open: the same vault, laid out for the screen it is on.

Private by default

DocuVisa works with no account and no internet connection. Your documents stay on your phone, and a crash report leaves it only if you choose to send one.

DocuVisa Plus

A subscription adds encryption on your phone, with the key held in its secure hardware, and an app lock that uses your fingerprint, face or passcode; an encrypted export, protected by a 12-word recovery phrase; and encrypted cloud backup to your own Google Drive or iCloud Drive, synced between your own devices. Backups are encrypted before they leave the phone, so nobody else can read them, including us, and we never hold them: DocuVisa does not store your documents anywhere. Any document can stay on the phone only.

Ending the subscription never deletes, locks or hides a document you already have.

Speaks fourteen languages

DocuVisa follows your phone's language, and can be set to another in Settings. Arabic, Urdu and Persian are laid out from the right, as they read.

Why DocuVisa asks to sign in with Apple or Google

Only DocuVisa Plus needs an account, so that your encrypted backups can be found again on your next phone. When you sign in with Google, DocuVisa asks only for the standard sign-in permissions and keeps your Google account identifier and your email address. It uses them to sign you in, to link your devices and backups to you, and to write to you about your account, and for nothing else. It has no access to your Gmail, contacts or any other Google service. If you choose to back up to Google Drive, DocuVisa asks for that separately, and it then reaches only the DocuVisa folder it makes there, nothing else in your Drive.

The DocuVisa privacy policy says exactly what is kept, why and for how long, and the terms of service say how the service works.
