Questions
We check it against the official rules for your document, and tell you about anything that could get it rejected. The final decision is always the passport office’s, which is why we never call a photo “guaranteed”.

Your photo is checked on your phone. Nothing is uploaded unless you buy, and we never use your photo to train anything.
