№ 04 — Prepare like a pro

How to take a passport photo at home — properly.

Three guidelines from our compliance team — follow them and the first preview is built to pass. Almost always does.

01Distance & framing
Hold the camera at arm's length.

For a front-facing camera, keep the lens 16–20 inches (40–50 cm) from your face. With a rear camera, ask someone to step back 4–6 feet so your head fills roughly 70% of the frame height.

Square shoulders to the camera — no tilt, no twist
Avoid portrait-mode blur — standard mode only
02Head & expression
Look straight in. Relax your jaw.

Keep your eyes wide open, mouth closed, expression neutral. No grins, no tilts, no looking off to the side. The consulate wants a calm, deadpan face — not a wedding photo.

ApprovedNeutral · straight
DeclinedSmile · head tilt
03Lighting & background
Daylight wins. Shadows don't.

Stand a few feet in front of a plain wall, facing a window in soft daylight. Avoid overhead lamps, harsh sun, or shadows behind you — they'll trigger the compliance flag even after AI cleanup.

BestSoft natural daylight, north-facing window
AvoidDirect sun, ceiling lights, busy backgrounds

№ 05 — The spec

We measure to the millimeter.

№ 12 — FAQ

Questions, and honest answers.

Can't find what you're looking for? Our compliance team replies within an hour at help@mysnappass.com.

01Is this platform compliant with US passport photo requirements?

Yes — fully ICAO 9303 and US Department of State compliant. 2×2 in at 300 dpi, neutral expression, plain white background, head between 50–69% of frame height. The compliance checker flags anything that wouldn’t pass at the consulate before you pay.

02What about other photo IDs and countries?

We support 40+ document specs across 30+ countries — passports, visas, and national ID cards. Pick your document during upload and we resize and validate to the exact spec.

03How much does it cost?

A digital photo is $13.95 — instantly downloaded, ready for online submission or self-printing. A printed set mailed to your door starts at $19.95 for 2 prints, with discounted bundles up to 12 prints. Optional add-ons: Expert Verification (+$5.95, includes a 200% refund guarantee) and Photo Retouching (+$3.95). Tax included.

04Where can I print my passport photos?

At home on any photo printer, or pick up at CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Walmart, FedEx Office, and most local print shops. Or have a professional 4×6 print mailed to your door in 2 business days.

05How does the AI work?

Our model removes the background, balances exposure, centers your face to the official template, and runs a full check against the official spec (head tilt, eye height, shoulder visibility, shadows, glasses glare, and more) before delivering a print-ready file.

06Is my data safe and private?

Photos are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train models, and auto-deleted within 24 hours. We follow CCPA/CPRA and U.S. biometric-privacy (BIPA) standards.

07Can I take photos of babies and children?

Yes. Lay an infant on a plain white sheet and shoot straight down, or sit a toddler against a plain wall with eyes open and a neutral expression — our AI crops and centers the face and checks it against the official spec. A parent or legal guardian places the order and provides consent on the child’s behalf.

08What about glasses, hijabs, or other head coverings?

Glasses are no longer allowed in US passport photos — remove them so there’s no glare or frame obstruction, and our checker will confirm your eyes are clearly visible. Religious and medical head coverings are permitted as long as your full face is visible from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead; the compliance check verifies that before you pay.

09How do I claim the money-back guarantee?

If an official office rejects your photo, email the rejection notice to help@mysnappass.com and we refund what you paid. If you added Expert Verification (+$5.95), the refund is 200% — twice what you paid. Full details are in our Refund Policy.

10How recent does my passport photo need to be?

US passport photos must be taken within the last 6 months and reflect your current appearance. If your look has changed significantly (for example, major weight change, facial surgery, or a new gender presentation), use a newer photo even if your last one was under 6 months old.

11Do you ship prints outside the US?

Printed-and-shipped orders are currently delivered within the United States only. If you’re outside the US, choose the digital option — you’ll get the same compliance-checked file to submit online or print at a local shop.
