FAQ

  • Absolutely. With IDPhotoNow, you can take a compliant passport photo right from your phone.
  • It depends on the requirement. For online submissions, we offer JPG files. For printed photos, we provide ready-to-print PDFs.
  • We provide a ready-to-print PDF file with the correct photo size. You can print it at home or at a store using 4×6 inch or 8×12 inch photo paper, depending on your need. ⚠️ Be sure to select “Actual Size” or “100% scale” when printing. Do NOT use “Fit to Page” or “Scale to Fit”, as this may distort the size.
  • It depends on the document and country. Many passport rules require glasses to be removed, but some ID types may allow them if eyes are fully visible.
  • You can use scissors to carefully cut along the edges of the photo in the printed PDF. We place the photo on standard-sized paper (like 4×6 inch or 8×12 inch) with correct dimensions, so you just need to follow the outlines. For best results, use a ruler or paper cutter for clean edges.
  • To take a passport photo of a baby or young child, lay them on a plain white sheet or blanket in a well-lit area. Make sure there are no shadows and the child’s face is clearly visible, with eyes open and mouth closed if possible. Avoid using props or having others in the frame. We’ll handle the background and sizing — just upload a clear photo following these tips.
