Independent tool, no government affiliation

Please read this before relying on a photo made with MakePassPhoto.

Not affiliated with any government

MakePassPhoto is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the U.S. Department of State, HM Passport Office, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the European Union, any Schengen state, or any other authority.

No acceptance guarantee

We check photos against the published requirements we know of, but rules change and the final decision is always made by the issuing authority. Automatic checks can be wrong. You are responsible for reviewing your photo and the official requirements before you submit.

No retouching

We only crop, scale and straighten your original photo. We do not retouch faces or replace backgrounds, because official rules prohibit altered photos.

Paid downloads (coming soon)

Planned pricing is US$4.99 per document, including the digital file, a 4×6 inch print sheet, and free redos for 7 days. Refund terms will be published before paid downloads open.
