A document image capturing device includes an image capturing module for capturing an image of a document, and a first aperture portion, an illumination module movable between the image capturing module and a document conveying path and including a light source for illuminating the document and a second aperture portion, and a sealer for sealing between the first aperture portion and the second aperture portion regardless of movement of the illumination module. The sealer includes a first film attached to cover an entire periphery of the first aperture portion and a second film attached to cover an entire periphery of the second aperture portion, and the first aperture portion and the second aperture portion are arranged so that a reflection light from the document illuminated by the light source passes through the first aperture portion and the second aperture portion.
