Why home photos work

Most passport applications accept digital photos. With good light, your phone is close to studio quality.

FotoPass crops the face, cleans the background and applies your document's size — no need to worry about distance or pose, AI fixes it.

Preparation checklist

Use a plain light wall (white or light grey). Avoid patterned curtains or shelves behind you.

Daylight near a window is ideal. Soft light without hard shadows on the face works best.

Skip glasses, hats and heavy makeup; official rules require a neutral expression.

Shooting steps

Shoot from whatever feels comfortable — selfie is fine. No specific distance or straight head needed.

A natural expression is enough. Turn off portrait/beauty modes — AI handles the rest.

Take a few frames and upload the sharpest one. The tool finishes biometric crop, alignment and background.
