About
Making official photos simple and stress-free
Our mission is to take the stress and uncertainty out of government photo requirements. ICAO Standard Photo gives you a fast, secure way to check and create passport and visa photos from home.
Who we are
Getting a compliant passport or visa photo shouldn’t mean wasting time and money at a pharmacy or photo studio. Every year, a huge number of official applications are delayed because a photo had a faint shadow, the wrong head size or a background that wasn’t quite white.
We are technologists and frequent travellers who built ICAO Standard Photo to fix exactly that. Our platform checks your photo against the technical standards immigration agencies use worldwide, including the ICAO 9303 specification, the U.S. Department of State and HM Passport Office.
Our technology
Our compliance engine runs a series of biometric checks in seconds. It measures your eye line and head height, detects problems like glasses glare or uneven lighting, and replaces messy backgrounds with a clean, pure white one.
Automated checks
Head size, eye line, lighting, expression and more.
Up-to-date rules
Requirements for passports, visas and ID cards in 50+ countries.
