Questions
Can I use a photo made online for my passport application?
Yes, if it meets the photo requirements. For online renewal you upload the digital file; for a paper application you print the photo. The passport agency makes the final decision on every photo.
Do you edit my face or replace the background?
No. We never digitally alter your face or background - we only crop and size your photo to the required 2×2 inch size. If the wall behind you isn't right, the check tells you how to fix it and you retake the photo.
Is it a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription or recurring charge.
Do I need to install an app?
No. It runs in your phone's web browser. On a computer you can upload a photo instead.
