Frequently asked questions
Common questions about creating and submitting this document photo.
Can I take the photo at home?
Yes. Use even light, a plain background and a camera held at eye level. Keep the face unobstructed and avoid filters or portrait-mode effects.
Will every application accept the result?
No service can guarantee acceptance. IDPIC prepares the file against the selected specification, but only the issuing authority can approve an application photo.
Can I use a phone photo?
Yes. Use the rear camera when possible, keep it level and about 1.5 metres away, and turn off beauty filters, portrait mode and artificial background blur.
