How it works

Discover how to take an official passport photo online with these four easy steps:

Step 1: Take the photo

You can use a smartphone, tablet, or camera to take the photo, as long as you follow the instructions closely to meet the necessary passport photo requirements.

Here are some important things to keep in mind:

  • Stand in well-lit, even daylight, without using lamps or flash to avoid shadows on your face.
  • Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and look straight ahead.
  • Keep your mouth closed and make sure your hair does not cover your face or ears.
  • Stand about one meter away from the camera, and have someone else take the picture if possible.

Step 2: Verify the photo

Our website has an automatic verification system to ensure that the photo meets the official requirements.

If the photo does not meet the criteria, we will provide you with specific guidelines for improvement. Alternatively, you have the option to order the photo as an unofficial passport photo if desired.

Step 3: Place your order

Fill in your information and make payment to complete the order. You can receive the passport photos by mail ($14.95) or by email ($7.95)
