Is it safe to send a scan of a passport processed in this way to third parties?

Question

Information Security

There was a need to transfer the scan of the passport to a third party: upload it to the boxberry personal account. Before uploading, I "worked" a little on the scan: removed the colors and added the text "for customs clearance".
Before (let's assume it's not the cover, but the first page of the passport)

After


Is it possible to say that by adding these "changes" I made the scan unusable for fraudulent purposes (this is not about boxberry, in principle)?
Is it possible to roll back the "safe" version to the original one and then use it for fraudulent purposes?

Answer 1

color, if they demand not to remove it, but usually they demand it, it’s stupid to remove
the passport so that the data can be read, but there are also marks that make it impossible to use,
usually writes the domain and date, multiplies like a watermark, it can still be voluminous, but this is already superfluous

Answer 2

Not safe:
1) photoshop (+ neural networks for coloring pictures) has not been canceled
2) your personal data is in the passport, perhaps they are needed by scammers

Answer 3

Well, as I once did when necessary:
​​- lowered the quality to a minimum, at which it is still readable
- erased part of the data such as the subdivision code. It is best to clarify what specific data they need, and overwrite the rest.
Any watermarks are erased by services. Either way, it's a risky move.

Answer 4

Can it be said that by adding these "changes" I made the scan unusable for fraudulent purposes (this is not about boxberry, in principle)?
Is it possible to roll back the "safe" version to the original one and then use it for fraudulent purposes?

No, all the data is visible, I don’t want to use it, the goal itself is data, not a scan.
You can’t roll back, but trying to return to the source yes, it will take me 2 minutes
