What to Expect
We will literally make you appear in the best light on your passport photo. You will receive six printouts in 3.5 x 4.5 cm, biometric according to official specifications. Alternatively, we also offer the new e-passport photo process - your photo is sent digitally directly to the authorities. If desired, also as a file by email for a service fee of €2.99. We also offer passport photos for other formats, e.g. for a US visa (additional charge €3.99).
Process
Just come to our studio – usually you can drop in spontaneously. If you're making a special trip, it's best to book an appointment. We ensure the right lighting, pay attention to the biometric requirements and take several photos so that you are satisfied. With the classic passport photo, you get your printouts immediately. With the e-passport photo process, you receive a QR code that you present to the authorities - ready in under 10 minutes.
Duration: that. 10 minutes
