FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a US visa photo the same size as a US passport photo?

Many US visa and passport photo workflows use a 2 x 2 inch square photo, but you should verify the current requirement for your exact application.

Can IDPhoto Pro guarantee visa photo acceptance?

No. The app provides preparation and checks based on published requirements, while final acceptance is decided by the receiving authority.
