No AI. No filters. Just your real photo.
The State Department rejects edited photos, so we never touch your face or background. Read the State Department's rule. If something's off, we tell you how to fix it with a retake.

- Size your head to the official range

Questions?
Still stuck? Email support@passpose.com. We reply within one business day.
Will the renewal site take this file?
It should. You get a square JPEG of your original photo, between 54 KB and 10 MB, just like the State Department asks for.
Is the check really free?
Yep. You see every rule checked and a preview of your photo before you pay a cent. You only pay to download.
What if my photo gets rejected?
We check it against the State Department's own rules, but they make the final call. If they reject a photo that passed our check, you get your money back.
Do you edit my photo?
Nope. We crop it to size, and that's it. Edited photos, including AI touch-ups and swapped backgrounds, get rejected.
Do you upload my photo?
No. The check runs right on your phone or computer. We never see your photo.
Ready when you are
It's free to try. You only pay when your photo passes.
