The only reason I don't want to send scanned docus is the fact I don't have a scanner..
A photo from a mobile phone works too.
This...ended up sending them pix from my iPhone because my scanner was on the fritz. Everything went through in a few days without issue. The only problem I've run into with MtGox was when I had them send their free Yubikey...they then set my account to require its use before it had arrived, so I was unable to use the account for the week or so it took the Yubikey to get here (they sent it by EMS, but it was stuck in customs for a few days).
