Send us your own photo and we will edit it to meet United States's official passport and visa photo requirements, then send you a print-ready digital file — with printed photos too, if you choose.

Photo tips for the best result

  • Neutral expression, mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible
  • Face the camera squarely — no tilting or turning
  • Even lighting on the face, with no shadow falling on the background
  • Stand about half a metre in front of a plain wall, with the camera around 1.5 m away
  • Ask someone else to take it using the rear camera — arm's-length selfies distort the face
  • Send the original file, uncropped and unfiltered

We size, position and adjust the background so the photo meets the specification. We do not retouch faces — several authorities, including ICA Singapore, reject photos whose features have been altered.

Soft copy — edited and emailed back within 1 working day, ready for online applications.

Printed photos — collect from our Chinatown shop, or add delivery at checkout.

If a photo cannot be made compliant we will tell you what to fix and you can send another at no extra charge.

Walk in any time during opening hours — no appointment needed. We photograph you, edit to specification and print on the spot, usually in about 20 minutes.

In-store photography is a walk-in service and is not ordered online. Ordering here is for customers who would rather send their own photo, or who cannot come down to the shop.
