If you want to take your passport photos at home, then there is good news: you can take your passport photos with your cell phone! As long as the camera has a high resolution and takes sharp pictures, there should be no problems with the passport photos.
There are also special apps for Android and for iPhone that will help you take the photos in the right format. You can download this kind of app and use it to help you take a good passport photo, which you can then print on a color photo printer.
Alternatively, you can use the free tool from persofoto.com to get the photo into the right format once you're done taking photos.
Below are some tips to make your passport photos turn out better:
- Dress normally – wear a normal outfit, like a shirt or blouse. Dress as if you are going to work or a government office.
- Do everything right – go through this list of tips, so you don't make any mistakes in your passport photo.
- Choose a background – you'll need something to put behind you while you pose for the camera. A plain white wall works best if you want to take a full-body photo.
- Don't forget your hair – it adds dimension to your face and helps define your features. Make sure you tuck it back for these shots.
- Avoid wearing hats, scarves, jewelry, or glasses – these items distract from your facial expression and make it harder for the photographer to get the perfect shot.
- Look straight ahead – look at the clock above the door and fix your gaze on the numbers. Then tilt your chin slightly upward.
