Ability to digitally save patron registration card to record
We would like to be able to save a scanned copy of a patron registration card to our patron's record. Louisiana is passing a law on content restrictions that requires us to store this information as well as any signed waivers. It would be convenient to be able to scan and save this information directly to a patron's account rather than dump all the saves into a cloud storage platform.

I was coming here to suggest the same thing! I am in Louisiana, too. I have been working with other parishes in our consortium to restrict/un-restrict access to CloudLibrary. One of the other libraries told me they have their patrons apps scanned and attached to the patron record. Amazing!
@Samantha Quell - We tried scanning and uploading the apps to the patron photo. It did not work well, at all. The idea is there, but the image resolution was too small or something?

One potential work around if you are not using patron photos would be to keep a scanned copy of the card as the patron photo. These photos only display for staff.
