Scan official government forms and ID documents privately on iPhone
For official forms and ID copies, privacy is the whole point — an on-device scanner keeps sensitive paperwork off any third-party server. ScanTo Pro — Scan, OCR-search & Face ID-lock docs — pay once.
Short answer
Government forms, household registration papers, ID copies and application documents are sensitive, so scanning them should never involve uploading to a scanner company's cloud. ScanTo Pro captures each page to a sharp PDF entirely on-device, straightens and cleans it, runs OCR so it's searchable, and lets you lock the file — nothing is transmitted unless you export it. Batch multi-page forms into one PDF and send it where it's needed. It's pay-once with no account, so there's no sign-up and no data trail.
Try ScanTo Pro on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.
