# Facebook requested documents

If you are faced with an account block and Facebook asks you to send them documents (passport), then you have 2 options to choose from:

1. Draw documents in Photoshop that match your account
2. Find someone else's passport on the Internet and send it to FB

The second option is highly discouraged, since FB digitizes all images into program code and remembers them. That is, the next time you publish an image from the Internet (which is extremely likely), this image will already exist in the FB database and the robot will not decide to unblock it. There will also be a discrepancy between the photo, name and other data with the social account.

Drawing passport data to match the account is the best option - but it does not provide a 100% guarantee of unblocking and is just a myth that this way there is a better chance of bypassing the block.

**Lifehack:**

Before sending an image (even taken from the Internet), open it on a PC monitor, take a photo of the screen with your phone (without glare), transfer the image to the computer and send it to FB, naming the file “scan.jpg” - according to our results from hundreds of tests - this increases the chance of unlocking by 10%
