Checking certificate scan page numbers means verifying that the scanned pages match the original. Scan the original page by page and record the total page count, then check that the scan's page numbers are consecutive and no pages are missing. If the scan differs from the original or has missing pages, complete the necessary rescanning before using it as a complete document.
The scanning and rescanning steps in this article are internal checking methods for Peru orders. They do not explain local documentation rules. When local requirements must be cited, use the current guidance obtained through an inquiry.
Log the original page count before scanning
Before scanning a certificate, record the original's total page count and page sequence. Then scan and check the page numbers one by one. If the scan has fewer pages than the original, skips page numbers, or contains duplicates, identify the missing or incorrect pages and arrange rescanning. Do not use that certificate to support a conclusion until all missing pages are supplied.
If several certificates are scanned together, or one certificate is scanned in separate sessions, maintain a separate file for each certificate. Identify the certificate to which each page belongs; a scan-batch label alone is insufficient.
If the scan is unclear, a page is cropped, or a seal is illegible, rescan the original. If photos or fax copies have been supplied in place of scans, return them with a request for a legible version first.
Who approves scan checks and archiving
| Topic to Verify | Requirement to Be Met Before Proceeding | Circumstances That Trigger a Hold | Role Accountable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original certificate page-count record | The record includes the certificate name, total page count, and page sequence | Return for confirmation first if the original has missing pages or an unclear sequence | Vehicle documentation administrator |
| Scan page-number check record | Scan page numbers are consecutive and each page matches the original | Arrange rescanning for skipped, duplicate, or missing pages; do not release first | Document reviewer |
| Missing-page rescan record | The record identifies the missing page, who will rescan it, and when it arrives | Keep the item pending review until the rescanned page has been checked against the original | Vehicle documentation administrator |
| Scan archiving sign-off | Sign-off identifies the certificate name, page count, and archive date | Exclude certificates with incomplete page counts from sign-off | Order release approver |
Keep scanning, checking, and archiving separate. The vehicle documentation administrator records the original page count and retains the scans, the document reviewer compares page numbers and content page by page, and the order release approver signs off on archiving only once all pages are present.
When rescanned pages arrive, check their page numbers and contents against the missing-page record. Merge them into the original scan only after confirming a match. Do not create a separate complete copy whose relationship to the original is unclear.
How to Return Scans Whose Contents Differ from the Original
If a scanned page differs from the original, first identify the page number and discrepancy, then return that scan and arrange rescanning. Use the original as the basis for judgment. Do not substitute altered contents in a scan for the original.
When several certificates must be supplied together, group them by vehicle in the order. Label each package with the certificate names and page counts. If you receive only a forwarded compressed archive or screenshots, first request scans that are readable page by page.
When checking Peru's current vehicle import requirements, you can start by opening the Peru SUNAT vehicle import guidance to verify the inquiry channel. Record the inquiry date and scope of the response.
Rechecks before archiving a full certificate
Before archiving each certificate, recheck three things: the original's total page count, consecutive numbering in the scan, and matching content. Update the archive status only when all three align. Certificates still awaiting rescans remain pending review and must not be closed along with other certificates.
Record the certificate name, corresponding vehicle, and page count in the recheck results so the next role can retrieve each document. Include the certificate name and page range in scan filenames. Store the original scan and rescanned pages in sequence within the same file collection.
FAQ
For a Peru order, what should we do if the original has ten pages but the scan has only eight?
Identify the missing page numbers and arrange rescanning. Compare the rescanned pages with the original before merging them into the original scan. Do not use a certificate with missing pages to support a conclusion. Archiving sign-off covers only certificates with all pages present.
For a Peru order, can we reorder duplicate page numbers in a certificate scan ourselves?
Do not reorder them on your own. Check the original to determine whether the issue comes from the scanning sequence or the original page sequence. After rescanning, number the pages in the original's order. Any changes must correspond to the original. Enter the findings in the check record and place the rescans in the existing archive in the original page order.
For a Peru order, can we complete the check using only a compressed archive or screenshots?
They are not sufficient as a complete basis. First request scans that are readable page by page, then check their numbering against the original page count. Screenshots can help locate an issue but cannot replace retrievable scan files. Once the scans arrive, you must still check that the page numbers are consecutive and rescan any missing pages.
How can we prevent inconsistent page sequences when several people scan the same certificate?
Before scanning, record the original's total page count and assign one role to coordinate the scanning. Add rescanned pages to the same archive according to the missing-page record, with filenames containing the certificate name and page numbers. Other staff should not create separate scans.
