The disclosed invention reduces the possibility that an applicant who uses an unattended card issuing machine can change the contents of an application, intentionally or through error. Since the scanner device of an unattended card issuing machine also performs the image transmission function and a facsimile device is not necessary, there is a savings in the required space. Also, there is only one location where a document is positioned, whether an identification document or an application document, thus the operation will not confuse an applicant. The scanner device is so designed that it completely encloses and retains an inserted document, so that there are no problems when an application form is scanned and its image data are prepared. Thus, the possibility that the contents of an application may be changed intentionally or through error is substantially eliminated. According to another feature of the present invention, a shutter, which is freely opened and closed, is located along the paper feed route. When an identification document, such as a driver's license, is positioned on the scanner device, this shutter is closed and prevents that document from erroneously being carried in.
