Frequently asked questions

What background colour do I need for a passport photo?

Most countries require a plain white or off-white background. Snapport shows you the exact requirement for your selected country.

Can I take the photo in natural daylight?

Natural daylight from a window works well if it is even and doesn't create shadows. Avoid direct sunlight which creates harsh shadows.

What if my photo gets rejected?

Common rejection reasons are shadows, incorrect background colour or face not centred. Retake following the guidance carefully. Snapport does not guarantee acceptance but guides you to official requirements.
