It’s that time, 9 1/2 years of travel have whizzed by and it’s time to renew our passports. Remember most countries require you have 6 months left on validity. That means taking the dreaded photo that usually makes us look like wanted criminals. But no more! You can save a bundle and have much more control over your passport photos with Make Passport Photos.
STEP 1
Find out the requirements for your country.
Here are a few for English speaking countries.
If your country isn’t in the drop down menu (such as New Zealand), then use a country which has the same size. Kiwis can use the Australian photo sizer. You may also be able to upload your photo to the passport application online.
STEP 2
Take your own photo using the required white/light background. This is where you can take your time, take lots of slightly different poses and hairstyles. Get it right, you will have to look at it for the next 10 years!
STEP 3
Upload it to the program and use their cropping tool in conjunction with your country’s photo requirement example page to get the right size.
STEP 4
Download it to your computer, copy it to a flash drive and print anywhere you like for just a few cents! Print a few copies so you have some on hand the next time you need a visa for someplace.

Congratulations, you have the best possible passport photo at the lowest possible cost!
