It is free, with no account or document upload; keep separate supporting documents separate when a Bahamas renewal has individual upload fields. Keep your passport, permit and other documents organised in Dokus, 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) ## Merge PDF documents in the right order 1. Select **Choose PDFs or photos** and pick at least two files. Choose the pages of the passport, permit or other document you need to assemble. **Try it with an example** opens fictional files first. 2. Check the page count beside each file. Drag its handle to change the file order, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys. Use **Add files** for a missing scan and × to remove a file. Pages within a PDF stay in their original order. 3. Select **Combine and download PDF**. Open the saved PDF and check that every required page is present, legible and in order. On an iPhone, check Files and its Downloads folder; the location follows your browser settings. Passport and permit scans are examples. Choose only the document and pages the recipient needs, rather than sending every identity document you hold. ## One complete supporting document per renewal field The Bahamas Immigration portal FAQ requires all pages or sides of each supporting document in one PDF. Its troubleshooting advice specifically suggests an online merge tool when the pages are separate. Keep unrelated documents in their own upload fields, and check the live renewal instructions before submitting. The published FAQ sets a 450 KB ceiling per scanned document. Merging joins pages without targeting a smaller size. If the result is too large, [Compress](https://dokus.app/en-bs/compress-bahamas-passport-permit-450kb/) offers a 300 KB starting target below that ceiling. Compression processes only the first ten PDF pages and makes image pages; inspect the full page count and readability before sending. For a single photo or both sides of one card on a sheet, use [Photo to PDF](https://dokus.app/en-bs/bahamas-passport-permit-renewal-pdf/). For more separate files belonging to the same document, use Merge. Neither tool submits or renews a permit. See the [work-permit renewal guide](https://dokus.app/en-bs/bahamas-work-permit-renewal-documents/) for the official process. ## Keep existing PDF text and every input page Merge copies existing PDF pages without turning them into photographs. Text already selectable remains selectable; a scanned image stays an image. There is no OCR. Every input PDF page is included within the file limits and your device's memory, including pages after the first ten. The order controls move whole files. They do not remove, rearrange or interleave individual pages inside a PDF. Prepare the correct source files before adding them. Keep digitally signed originals separately: the combined PDF is a new file and does not preserve signature validation. PDFs that require an opening password cannot be added. The last output page carries a credit for the free tool, below an existing PDF page or in a photo's bottom margin. ## Combine PDF files and document photos You can choose PDF, JPG, PNG and browser-supported HEIC files together. Each photo fits entirely on a separate **Letter** sheet with 12 mm margins. Existing PDF pages keep their page sizes, with a strip added below the final PDF page for the credit. Merging does not crop away a photographed background or straighten a tilted document. Prepare a card photo in [Photo to PDF](https://dokus.app/en-bs/bahamas-passport-permit-renewal-pdf/) when it needs a different layout, then add its downloaded PDF here. HEIC support depends on the browser; an iPhone library selection can provide JPG. ## Free merging on your device Choose **2 to 20 files**, no more than **25 MB each** and **100 MB altogether**. Your browser reads the selected files and creates the result on your device, without an account or document upload. Once the page and processing resources have loaded, you can continue offline. For an agreed purpose label or fewer visible identity details, prepare the reference copy with [Watermark](https://dokus.app/en-bs/watermark-bahamas-passport-licence-data-access/) or [Hide details](https://dokus.app/en-bs/redact-bahamas-passport-licence-data-access/) before merging. Those separate editing tools create image copies and process only the first ten input PDF pages. Confirm any edits with the recipient and keep required originals. ## Common questions ### How do I merge PDF documents for free? Choose at least two PDFs or photos, arrange the file rows and select Combine and download PDF. It is free without an account or document upload, with the tool's credit on the last page. ### Should I combine my passport and permit in one renewal upload? Keep separate supporting documents in their required fields. Combine all pages or sides belonging to one document, and follow the live portal's instructions for that field. ### Will merging make the PDF smaller than 450 KB? No. Merge does not target a smaller size. Use Compress if necessary, remembering that it processes only the first ten PDF pages and exports images. Check the saved file's size, readability and complete page count. ### Does Merge keep selectable text and more than ten pages? Yes. Existing selectable PDF text and all input pages are retained within the file and device-memory limits. Photos do not acquire selectable text, and the new file does not preserve digital-signature validation. ### Can I combine PDF and JPG scans? Yes. PDF, JPG, PNG and supported HEIC files can be selected together. Each photo becomes a separate Letter page with 12 mm margins. At least two files are needed to download the result. ## Sources Reviewed on 27 October 2026 - [Bahamas Immigration: online portal FAQ](https://www.immigration.gov.bs/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/BHS_IDMS_OnlinePortal_FAQ_Applicant_v8.pdf) - [MDN: using files from web applications](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_API/Using_files_from_web_applications)
