The second category document must be valid duration of 12 months and consists of:

Legal EU photo ID card

Please Note
The SIA is very strict on the type of picture you provide. They often reject excessively zoomed photos, black and white, unclear background, and those with poor lighting. Always ensure clear appearance of shoulder, neck, and face on the picture and avoid shadows and extreme light.
