FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a phone photo for a green card application?

A phone photo may work if it is sharp, recent, evenly lit, front-facing, and adjusted to the required size and framing.

Does the app upload my green card photo?

No. IDPhoto Pro processes photos on device and does not upload photos to a server for its core workflow.
