Questions
Will the passport office accept it?
The size and head position will match the official rules. Offices also check lighting, expression, glasses and background, and they make the final decision. If in doubt, follow the official rules linked for your country.
How do I print it?
Print the 6×4" sheet at a photo kiosk (Officeworks, Kmart, Walgreens, Boots and so on) or at home on glossy photo paper. Make sure scaling is set to 100% or "actual size", then cut along the grey lines.
Can I take the photo with my phone?
Yes. Ask someone to take it from about 1.5 m away at eye level, facing a plain light wall, with even light and no shadows on your face or behind you.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. That matters for a photo of your face that ends up in an ID document.
