Passport Photo FAQTap to open
Can I take my own passport photo with my phone?

Yes. Use a clear, front-facing photo against a plain white or off-white background with even lighting.

Can I get a 4x6 print sheet?

Yes. Choose the Digital + 4x6 Print Sheet option for $18.95 if you want the ready-to-print sheet.

What if the checker rejects my photo?
