How Passports works.

1. 1

   Take or upload a selfie

   Use your phone camera. We give you live framing hints so you nail it on the first try.

2. 2

   AI fixes everything

   MediaPipe finds your face, BiRefNet removes the background, and we crop to exact 2×2 in. at 300 DPI.

3. 3

   Automatic compliance check

   Every photo is checked against the U.S. State Department rules — head height, eye line, sharpness, exposure, background colour.

4. 4

   Print sheet with cut lines

   We lay out 4–6 copies on a 4×6 sheet with dotted cut lines and crop marks. Vector PDF for crisp output at any photo lab.

5. 5

   Pickup at Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart

   Pick the store closest to you. We send the print sheet to the photo lab via official partner APIs where available, or guest upload where not. Pickup is typically ready in about an hour.

6. 6

   Digital copy in your inbox

   The full-resolution JPEG and PDF land in your email, plus the order link stays live for 30 days.
