Hi Katie,
haver you ever tried passport-photo.online? For me it’s absolutely the best site for passport photo!

Hello. I need passport photos for the renewal of a Jamaican passport. Can you do this because the photo that was sent was not acceptable? They say the photo has uneven lighting.

Hi Seymour,
We are Upgraded Points, a website that publishes helpful information for travelers, so unfortunately we are not able to assist with taking your passport photos.

Wow! It contains all of the information that is needed to take a passport photo at home, from hairstyles, lighting, facial expressions, background colors, and colors to actually wear. I am going to utilize all of this information and bite the bullet and renew my passport. Thank you.

Nice detailed article summarizing how to take passport photos and how not to. When I have a larger number of photos from which I need to extract passport-sized photos I personally use a tool called Face Crop Jet. It auto-detects and crops face from photos in bulk.

Thanks for all the info! I just took a picture and used https://passport-selfie.com/ to print it, quite happy with the results and easy to use. Some of the services you mention above don’t actually work.
