Hello, a friend of mine needs a Canadian Passport.

I need a Canadian citizenship photo first and then a passport photo. Walgreens took my U.S. passport but they cannot do the Canadian size. Can I have them take the picture but not crop it, can I use that for you? If so, do I then scan the picture to send to you? What resolution and what format? What about all the language on the Canadian site about photographer Identification? George Sullivan (Now in Florida but formerly Yorba Linda)

My husband and I need photos for Chinese travel visas. Can we get passport photos from CVS (2" x 2") and send them to you to be reformatted to comply with Chinese visa requirements? If so, how many copies do you need from us and how many do we need for each visa? What will be the cost to us and how shall we pay?

Hard copy photos will not work to make new photos, as a scan or Photo of a photo is not of good enough quality for any Government photos. But you can have CVS take the photo and then put the original digital file out of the camera on a thumb drive or CD and then place an order through our website. The most common way is to take a photo yourself using a hand held digital camera with a built in flash. You can see how to do this on our web page "How to take a Passport photo" passport photonow.com



I do not have a digital camera. I was assuming that from an iPhone is okay but after reading some previous questions I'm guessing they are not acceptable? And cig I have more than one photo and am not sure which is the best, can I send more than one? Thanks.

Any old or new hand held digital camera with a built in flash would work better the any cell phone including iPhone's. But if you do not have a camera or able to barrow one please use your iPhone and make sure your flash goes off at full power. Once we have your order we will let you know within that day if it is good enough or not to use. If their are problems with the photo you uploaded we will tell what needs to be done to fix it.

Hello! Will you able to fulfill the specific, following photo requirements for a Canadian passport renewal: "The following information must be included on the back of one photo: The name of the photographer or studio; The full physical address of the photographer or studio where the picture was taken including the unit and street number, street, city, province, country, and postal code; and The date the photos were taken."

Yes we do all of this for you, but after 10 years of never having any problems there is one person at the Canadian consulate that has just started rejecting photos because they were printed online. So there is now a chance it can be rejected. Passportphotonow



do you put their name, address and the date that the picture is taken on the back of the photo?

If the country you need your photos for need the address and date on the back, yes we will do that.



My background keeps coming out yellow ... any suggestions?

Don't worry about that we will lighten up the background when we print it.

I need picture print for Canada temporary resident visa and US I-485 for me and my wife where should I go who can provide me digital picture so I can send you.... any suggestion... I am in buffalo NY appreciate your response... Thanks Mansoor

You can try one of the big box store that take passport photos. I would first call them to verify they will give you the original digital digital file on a CD or thumb drive. A scanned photo will not work. Or you can take the photo using your regular hand held digital camera that has a built in flash. See our sample photo page on our website for how to do it yourself.



We need an Australian passport photo for our son Ben. We are in Nashville. Should we try and take a photo with my iphone 6 on a white background and send it to you or would we be better getting a usual US passport photo from Wallgreens. We also have a good cannon SLR but hardly ever use that these days. Alternatively is there someone in Nashville we could go to? Thanks Simon

Hello Simon, Your best option would be to use your Cannon DSLR, as that will give you the best digital file. Once you have placed the order and if the photo is not good enough we will send you an email letting you know what the problems are and how to fix them. You then would just take another photo and replay to that email and attach the new digital file to it. We will do that until you get us a good enough photo. Bruce Passportphotonow



What is the fastest turnaround - if I upload a photo today (Oct 16) and use your "RUSH" service do I also need to add an option for mailing the photos like "Priority or Express USPS" or do I just select the RUSH ??

If you select "RUSH" service the photos will be printed and put in the mail by the next business day via standard USPS mail. If you want to upgrade your shipping to have the mailing process faster then you would also need to pay for Priority or Express USPS.

I believe that the sizes are the same but the stamp on the back does not have the guarantor signature just the following name of photographer and studio, studio address and date they were taken in case they are different from passports here are the photo requirements ( 2 identical photos/each child) 1) must be printed on quality photographic paper 2) info above on back 3) against plain white or light colored background 4) the frame size must be at least 35 X 45 mm 5) the size of the head, from chin to crown must be between 31 and 36 mm is this something you can do ? I have the pics ready thanks, Alexander Beeser

Hello, The Canadian Passport photos are not the same size and have different requirements from the Canadian Citizenship photos. Yes we can make Canadian Citizenship photos for you and know exactly what needs to be done to make them pass. ~ Bruce



I have read the Canadian passport pictures guidelines and I am fine with overall guidelines and have a suitable camera. My question is the size ranges (very specific) and whether I need to do trial/error to get in that size range or you adjust(electronically) to get them there? I will be taking these pictures for 3 of us, any other advice you can offer would be appreciated. Please let me know, thank you

Hello, We will adjust your photo to the correct size for you. Please upload us your full size file unaltered through our website and we will do what is needed. Please our sample photo page for other photo tips.

I do not have a digital file of a passport photo, but have the actual photo from a local camera store. Can I mail you the actual passport photo and you can make it fit the specifications for an Australian passport?

No, I am sorry but I have to have the original digital file that came from the camera that took the picture. A hard photo, scanned photo or a photo of a photo will not work.

Hi, I am looking for someone that can make Canadian Visa photos (35mm x45mm) and I am having a hard time finding somebody. There's four of us and we need 2 each (total 8) with the photographer info on the back including our names and date of birth. Is it possible for you to make them for us and we receive in a timely manner. Please let me know if its possible. Kind Regards, Norah.

Yes, we make Canadian Visa photos everyday. The only thing we need to put on the back of the Visa photo is the date the photo was taken on one photo. Canadian Citizenship and Passport photos both need the photographers information, not the visa are you sure it is the Visa photo you need? Regards, Bruce Passportphotonow.com

Hi, Why does the photo I upload keep coming up blurry? I’ve tried 2 different photos and still no luck. The very first one I tried worked, went through fine. I am needing a second identical photo and now it won’t work (trying to renew Australian passport). Thanks, Alison.

It only looks blurry because it is just showing you the thumbnail file so you know you uploaded the correct photo. Please move forward and place your order, if it turns out the photo is blurry we will let you know and ask for a new photo from you.



G’day! We are a family of 7 needing to renew our Australian and American passports! I was wondering if I could send you all the pics we took and you let us know if they are acceptable. We need two of each person for each passport of myself and my husband and 3 of the kiddos and then just two American passport photos of two other kiddos coz their Aussie passports are still up to date. Is that a possibility? I won’t send the pics until I hear back from you, but I thought it would be easier to just email them all rather than do each one as an individual order. Let me know! Thanks so much!

You will need to place an order for all the photos you need and then we will let you know if the photos are good enough or not.
