Order Passport Photos Online

Order Passport Photos Online in Minutes

You do not need to visit a studio, queue at a booth or take time off work to get passport photos. Take a picture on your phone, upload it to our online passport photo studio, and we size it, clean up the background and check your head against the official range. Then download the file, or order prints.

Order for yourself, your partner or your children. Each photo takes about two minutes to prepare.

How to Order a Passport Photo Online in 5 Steps

1. Choose your country and document. Pick the passport format you need, because sizes differ around the world.
2. Upload your picture. Select a clear, front-facing photo from your phone or computer.
3. Review the automatic checks. The tool crops your photo, replaces the background and tests your head size.
4. Retake or adjust if needed. Try another picture until every check passes.
5. Download or order prints. Save a digital file for online forms, or order printed photos for paper applications.

Background	Replaced and checked for you	Set by the booth or the operator

Passport Photo Requirements to Check Before You Order

Each country sets its own rules, but most follow the same ICAO principles. Check these points before you upload your picture.

Pose and Expression

• Face the camera. Look straight at the lens with your head level.
• Keep a neutral expression. Close your mouth and keep your eyes open.
• Show your full face. Keep hair away from your eyes, and keep your face uncovered from chin to forehead.

Background and Lighting

• Use a plain background. Most countries ask for white, cream or light grey.
• Avoid shadows. Even lighting on your face and the wall gives a cleaner cut-out.
• Keep the frame clear. Other people, objects and patterns cause rejections.

Glasses, Headwear and Editing

• Remove your glasses. Many countries no longer accept them, except for documented medical reasons.
• Wear headwear only for religious or medical reasons. Show your full face.
• Do not retouch the photo. Filters, smoothing and heavy editing lead to rejection.

How to Take a Good Picture at Home

A clear picture gives the cleanest result, so take a few minutes to set up.

• Ask someone to help. Selfies distort your face, so have a friend hold the camera at eye level.
• Face a window. Soft daylight removes shadows from your face.
• Stand about one metre from the camera. Keep the lens level with your eyes.
• Use a plain wall. A simple backdrop gives a sharper background cut-out.
• Leave space around your head. The tool needs room to crop correctly.
• Look straight ahead. Relax your face and keep your head level.

Digital Photo or Printed Photos?

Choose the output that fits your application.

	Digital photo	Printed photos
Best for	Online applications and portals	Paper forms and in-person visits
Output	JPEG at the required pixel size	Prints at the exact millimetre size
Checking	Portals often check it automatically	You check it yourself
Delivery	Instant download	Posted or printed by you

If you print at home or at a shop, choose 100% scale with no fit-to-page setting. Cut each photo to the exact size, or ask for your country's passport format.

Passport Photos Delivered to Your Door

If your application needs printed photos, order them online and have them delivered, so you skip the trip to a shop. Check the delivery time and cost at checkout, and allow extra days if your deadline is tight.

Looking for Passport Photos Near Me?

You can order online from anywhere, so you do not need to search for a studio. If you would rather have someone else take the picture, many pharmacies, supermarkets and Post Office branches offer passport photo services, and prices vary. Ask about the size and background before you pay.

For most people, an online order costs less and saves time. Take the picture at home, and check it against the official rules before you submit.

Passport Photos for Children and Babies

Children need the same size and background, but many countries relax some rules for young ones. Babies often do not need to look at the camera, and no one else may appear in the photo. Check your country's guidance for children before you apply.
