A passport photo that meets biometric standards

The passport photo follows the standards of the ANTS and of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), recognized worldwide. We frame your face in the 35 × 45 mm format, apply a light, even background and check every criterion to avoid a rejection at the town hall or at the photo kiosk.

Valid for the ID card and the passport

The photo you get meets the same criteria as the national identity card: you can use it for a passport, an ID card, a first application or a renewal alike.

Your questions about the passport

Yes, each photo is checked against ANTS and ICAO standards (format, background, face size, sharpness, neutral expression). If the administration refuses it, we remake it for free.
The format is 35 × 45 mm, with a face of 32 to 36 mm from the chin to the top of the head and a plain, light background. This framing is applied automatically.
Glasses are not recommended. If you wear them, the frame must be thin, without glare, and must not hide your eyes. Our check detects disturbing glare.
Yes. ICAO standards are international: the photo works for the French passport and is recognized at border controls.
Yes. A selfie facing a window is enough, or upload an existing photo. Cropping and corrections are automatic.
They are encrypted during processing and then deleted automatically after download.
