These terms apply when you use Passport Photo at Home and its photo tools. By using the site, you agree to them.
Using the site
The tools are free to use, with no account. You can use them to make and check photos of yourself, or of someone who agreed to it or is in your care, such as your child. Don't use the site to make photos for false or fraudulent documents, to pass yourself off as someone else, or in a way that could damage the site or slow it down for others, such as automated bulk use.
Not a government service
Passport Photo at Home is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the U.S. Department of State, USCIS or any other government agency. It checks photos against published rules but cannot guarantee that a photo will be accepted.
We don't accept applications, forward photos to any agency, or charge government fees. Pay government fees only through the agency's own forms and websites.
No guarantee that a photo will be accepted
The tool checks photos against rules published by government agencies, using automatic measurements that can be wrong or can miss problems. The agency that receives your application decides whether a photo is accepted. We can't guarantee acceptance, and we aren't responsible for rejected photos, delays, fees or other results of an application.
Some things are up to you: that the photo is recent and unedited, that you aren't wearing glasses or a hat unless the rules allow it, and that a printed photo is the right size on photo paper. Read the reminder next to the save button before you use a photo.
Rules, prices and other information
We take the rules from official sources and show the date we last checked each one. Rules change, so if an official page says something different from this site, follow the official page. Store prices are the prices each company published on the date shown, and they can change or vary by location. None of our links are affiliate links.
Your photos and privacy
Your photo is processed on your device and never uploaded. The privacy policy explains what the site stores in your browser and what our server receives.
Other websites and services
The face detection models come from Google's open-source MediaPipe project (Apache License 2.0) and are served from this site. Links to government agencies, stores and other sites are for your information; we don't control those sites. Store and agency names belong to their owners and are used only to identify them.
No warranty
We provide the site as is, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for decisions made using its results or for any loss from using it. We may change or stop any part of the site at any time.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
