The SCIS Photo App eliminates the cost of photos and offers a convenient way to provide the photo required to apply for the secure status card. To complete your SCIS application, you must submit a complete application (Form 83-172E), a Guarantor Declaration (Form 83-169E) and supporting documentation. To find out how to apply, visit canada.ca/indian-status. Once your complete application and supporting documentation has been received, your photo will be linked with your application. You do not need to contact Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) to inform us that you have submitted your photo through the App. All information provided through the SCIS Photo App is encrypted. The collection and use of personal information is in accordance with the Privacy Act. You must be registered as a Status Indian under the Indian Act to get a status card. If you are not registered, you must apply for registration and have your registration number available before using the SCIS Photo App. The SCIS Photo App cannot be used to submit your photo to apply for the laminated Certificate of Indian Status (CIS). The SCIS Photo App may not work on devices other than smartphones, such as iPads and tablets. The use of the SCIS Photo App on iPads and tablets will be optimized in the future. ## SCIS Photo Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/49/3e/5f/493e5f23-d2ea-ae21-3b59-7abf7737b726/a92976f3-22ee-45f7-aae9-6b1c173aa59a_Screenshot_2023-09-19_at_9.50.25_AM_copy.jpg/1242x2208.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/67/cc/93/67cc9316-273b-c9ca-770d-b3f721d3ffa6/017e9fee-2f3f-4c4d-9009-667233137369_Screenshot_2023-09-19_at_9.50.46_AM_copy.jpg/1242x2208.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/1b/04/9b/1b049b2a-3b87-6b00-9aeb-f5e64eed7539/dde7a91b-0e42-4f27-bc59-14f130a21be1_Screenshot_2023-09-19_at_10.47.10_AM_copy.jpg/1242x2208.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/e5/7b/f4/e57bf46b-052f-fd32-a381-a562cd48aa93/bcbee12c-4291-40da-bdd4-8dad81e38114_Screenshot_2023-09-19_at_9.52.01_AM_copy.jpg/1242x2208.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/d7/93/d8/d793d8eb-a049-b06b-d4e9-cae3bef34754/3c30d4e1-893e-4223-a633-679ab18baefb_Screenshot_2023-09-19_at_9.53.49_AM_copy.jpg/1242x2208.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/ca/15/88/ca15888c-2c01-666a-1fab-38c3bdddb01a/ead7d54e-56bd-4eae-9d3f-8b7a8e7e99f8_Screenshot_2023-09-19_at_9.55.25_AM_copy.jpg/1242x2208.png) ## SCIS Photo Rating Breakdown in Canada - 5 stars: 13 (29%) - 4 stars: 4 (9%) - 3 stars: 2 (4%) - 2 stars: 3 (7%) - 1 stars: 23 (51%) ## SCIS Photo Reviews in Canada ### **--- "No longer has guarantor signature prompt" The app was functional and worked well for my community that lives 1.5 hours from a passport photo service. Since October 2023 the app no longer prompts for guarantor information or signature. Photos are still being submitted but applicants are receiving letters back that their applications are incomplete because the photos are not certified by the guarantor. Please fix this app. It served us well until it didn’t. -- Chief Walkem, 2024-03-05 ### ***** "Works for me!" I tried applying for a new card this way and it worked! Sent in my photo through this app, and sent my forms via mail. I got my new card now! -- Major Jabs, 2023-03-21 ### *---- "Fails" Unsure how it works but following the directions doesn’t help, 5 of 5 people I had try use this app failed to get any positive results. 100% failure and not worth using , worse this using head office staff -- capsgram, 2022-02-17 ### *---- "not good" was no shadows and the app kept rejecting the photos plus probably not lagit. deleted it’s a waist of skin and probably illegal -- Craigie sr, 2021-06-22 ### ***** "Very good!" Works great! -- Vazzily, 2019-07-09 [View all SCIS Photo reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## SCIS Photo Available In - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/scis-photo-stvj/canada) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/scis-photo-stvj/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
