Questions

Good to know.

Will my photo be accepted?

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”.

Can I take my own passport picture?

Yes. It works best when someone else takes it from about 4 ft away. On your own, prop the phone at eye level, step back and use the self-timer.

Do you change my background?

Not unless you ask. If your wall doesn’t pass, you choose: retake it, or replace the background. We tell you what that means for your document first.

Where do I print the sheet?

In the US, order it as a 4×6 in print at any drugstore or photo kiosk, then cut along the lines. For the UK, Australia and New Zealand, use a photo lab: home inkjet prints aren’t accepted.

Is my photo private?

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