Does AnyPassportPhoto.com replace the official passport office check? +
No. It helps you prepare and review a photo against published requirements. The passport authority, embassy, consulate, or upload system makes the final decision.
Why does the checklist use Passed, Warning, and Needs retake? +
Passport photo rules are not a single number. A photo can have the right size and still fail because of glare, background edits, head tilt, or file compression. Checklist language makes the next action clearer.
Can I use an AI-edited passport photo? +
Many passport authorities restrict altered photos, and some explicitly mention AI tools or software edits. Use AI-assisted output cautiously, avoid changing the face, and retake the photo when the checklist flags identity or background risks.
