How to prepare yourself?
Distance from the camera
Take the photo from a distance of about 20 inches from your face. Ideally, the photo should be taken by another person.
Face in front of the camera
Place your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression on your face. Hold the camera at face height.
Even lighting
Just stand facing a light source such as an exposed window. Don't worry about the background.

Hear from our satisfied users
Real experiences, real satisfaction: Read genuine testimonials from thousands of satisfied users (Our service has over 5,400 5-⭐ reviews on Trustpilot):
I genuinely thought some of the positive reviews had to be fake. However, I had an extremely positive experience. I uploaded a photo of my baby for an Australian passport and got a rejection message due to the baby not facing forwards enough. I tried again and this time I asked for them to help adjust the background and baby blanket out of the photo. They did this within a couple of days and guaranteed the photo would be accepted, which it was.
