FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are USCIS photos usually the same size as US passport photos?
Many USCIS-style photo workflows use a 2 x 2 inch photo, but always verify the exact requirement for the form or portal you are using.
Can IDPhoto Pro guarantee USCIS acceptance?
No. The app helps prepare and check the photo, while final acceptance is decided by USCIS or the receiving service.
