Rules & how-to

Make one at home

You don't need a photo booth. With even light, a plain wall and your iPhone, a passport-photo app can guide framing, replace the background with a compliant colour, and crop to your country's exact size. See the in-depth guide. Requirements change, so always verify the current official spec before submitting.
