Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a selfie for my passport photo?

No, passport photos must be taken by someone else. Selfies often have incorrect angles, lighting, and proportions that don't meet official requirements.

What's the difference between passport and visa photos?

While similar, visa photos may have different size requirements depending on the country. Always check the specific requirements for your destination country.

Can I smile in my passport photo?

Most countries require a neutral expression with both eyes open and mouth closed. Some allow a natural smile but avoid showing teeth.

How recent should my passport photo be?

Passport photos should be taken within the last 6 months to accurately represent your current appearance.

Can I wear glasses in my passport photo?

Some countries allow glasses if there's no glare and your eyes are clearly visible. Others require no glasses. Check your country's specific rules.
