selected and start with the 300 KB Maximum size target. Check every required detail in the saved copy against the live Immigration upload instructions. Dokus keeps your permit and identity documents on your iPhone, ready for the next request. 4.8 out of 5 stars [Free on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/bs/app/dokus-private-id-wallet/id6781915709) ## Fit a supporting scan to the renewal field The Immigration portal FAQ publishes a 450 KB maximum for each scanned supporting PDF. The tool starts at 300 KB, the available step below that ceiling. Recheck the live field. ## Reduce the requested attachment 1. Open the one-document passport or permit scan. Check that it contains all required sides before reducing it. 2. Keep PDF as the output. Start at 300 KB, then compare Maximum size with the live upload ceiling. 3. Inspect the portrait, document number, dates, endorsements and stamps. Retake a blurred photo instead of repeatedly shrinking it. 4. Download, reopen the PDF and check both its actual file size and every required page. ## Readability controls the final choice A small attachment is useful only if the officer can read it. Crop away a desk or empty border, correct rotation and start from even lighting. Leave genuine document edges, seals and endorsements intact. If the tool reports that the target cannot be met, review the original capture and the live instructions. Do not send an unreadable image merely because its size is small. A file made from a longer PDF must also pass the ten-page input limit. For a MOHW employee-ID upload instead, its government-ID field lists JPG/PNG and a 2 MB maximum. Choose JPG for that separate task; a PDF aimed at Immigration is not the same attachment. ## Check the saved copy Choose JPG, PNG, supported HEIC or PDF up to 25 MB. Only the first ten pages of an input PDF are processed. Download JPG or an image-based PDF; selectable text, fillable fields and digital signatures are not preserved. Keep any original signed or fillable file. The document is processed in your browser without an account or document upload. The downloaded copy removes camera metadata and leaves the source unchanged. Use [Photo to PDF](https://dokus.app/en-bs/bahamas-passport-permit-renewal-pdf/) for the layout, [Compress](https://dokus.app/en-bs/compress-bahamas-passport-permit-450kb/) for an attachment ceiling, [Watermark](https://dokus.app/en-bs/watermark-bahamas-passport-licence-data-access/) for an agreed purpose label or [Hide details](https://dokus.app/en-bs/redact-bahamas-passport-licence-data-access/) for agreed unnecessary fields. Save between tools and inspect the final downloaded file. ## Common questions ### Is 300 KB the official Bahamas limit? No. It is this tool’s available starting target below the Immigration FAQ’s published 450 KB ceiling. The current upload field controls the actual requirement. ### Can I use this for the MOHW government-ID photo? Yes, as a separate JPG workflow. The employee-ID field lists JPG/PNG up to 2 MB. Check that all identity details remain readable. ### What if Maximum size cannot be reached? The tool shows its smallest result. Improve the source capture or ask about the recipient’s accepted transfer method. Inspect the actual downloaded file before sending. ## Sources Reviewed on 22 October 2026 - [Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)](https://www.immigration.gov.bs/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/BHS_IDMS_OnlinePortal_FAQ_Applicant_v8.pdf) - [MOHW ID Management System](https://mohid.gov.bs/)
