Solve common risks before you submit
Passport Photo Rejected: What to Fix
Start with the rejection notice and the receiving authority's current photo rules. Retake the image when you cannot clearly resolve framing, lighting, sharpness, background, or file-format issues. A photo app can help prepare the file, but it cannot determine final acceptance.
Read guideTake a Passport Photo at Home With iPhone
Use a recent, unfiltered, front-facing portrait with even light, enough distance from the wall to reduce cast shadows, and the correct document preset before exporting. Check the current rule for your exact country and application channel before submitting.
Read guideCan You Edit a Passport Photo Background?
Do not assume that digital background replacement or other edits are accepted. Check the current rule for the exact receiving authority. When the original image has unsuitable lighting or background, retaking a clean photo is the most conservative option.
Read guidePassport Photo App vs Photo Shop
Use a photo app when you need privacy-conscious local preparation, multiple document sizes, a digital export, or a print layout from your own portrait. Use a photo shop when you need in-person help taking the portrait or the receiving workflow specifically requires a service provider. Neither option guarantees acceptance.
