All requirements by country
Passport & ID photos

The rule is different in every country. The app already knows it.

Pick where the photo is going. Size in millimetres, head height, eye line and the background rule all follow from that country's published requirement.

  • Country and document

    Only the document types that exist in that country appear, each with its own size.

  • Guidance while you shoot

    An on-screen frame plus spoken prompts in your language. The shutter waits until the framing fits.

  • Automatic crop

    The photo is cropped to the exact millimetres, with the head and eye line where the rule places them.

  • Quality check

    Lighting, focus, framing and expression are scored before you save.

  • Background by the rules

    Official-photo editing follows the rules of the selected document.

Guided while you shoot. Checked before you save.
