Gone are the days when you had to step out of the comfort of your home to take photos for your government documents. These days, an increasing number of people choose not to visit a photo studio. Rather, they use creative websites and apps that automatically crop/ adjust their photos for passports.

Why take the pain of going to a photographer when you can get it all done from the comfort of your home? Just ask someone to take your photo from a phone (keeping in mind the requirements) and then upload the photo to PhotoforID and you’re done.
