About this app

Use your smartphone to create verified passport photos quickly, easily, and securely from the comfort of your home!  

With the CEWE Passport Photo App, you can easily create a biometric passport photo for various official documents such as ID cards, driving licences or passports in just a few minutes. In addition, you can also create ID photos for non-biometric documents such as public transport cards, sport ID cards, school or university ID cards, and many more.

Let the app automatically check your passport photo for biometric suitability. Select a photo and start the biometric check function. Your photo will also be cropped to the selected document specifications and the background will be removed. It’s that easy!

Advantages:
• Private: Get professional-quality passport photos at home
• Fast: Available immediately, without appointments and long waiting times
• Simple: Biometric verification and automatic background removal
• Reliable: Guaranteed recognition by authorities


It's so simple:
1. Select the desired ID or passport template and take one or more photos. You will get the best results if you ask someone to take the photo for you. 
Make sure that the lighting is even to prevent shadows on the face.

2. Choose your favourite from the photos you have taken and have the picture checked for biometric suitability. Your photo will be cropped to the suitable size for the selected document and the background will be removed.

3. Once you have purchased your photo in the app for, you can download and use your biometric passport photo immediately. In addition, you will receive a QR code with which you can print your passport photo and the check sheet at any CEWE Photostation at participating retail partners. The prices in the app apply to digital purchases. For the printout (sheet with 6 photos with additional verification certificate) at participating retail partners, the prices at the shop apply.

Rejects photos with a truncated text : "camera distance to the face too", not clarifying what the problem is. Credit cards not accepted at the point of collection! This company should realize the 21st century has arrived long ago.

The actual price is only listed in the fine print of the terms and conditions. The app charged me 9CHF for "Digital file + optional print at Cewe Photostation". The photo station itself then asked for another 5.90CHF (cash only, and does not give change) since apparently the printing was not included in the price. So apparently this app charged me 9CHF to "download" my own passport photo that I already had on my phone, which makes no sense.

Too expensive, it makes you pay 10 euro to just remove the background for you and crop the picture, and then when you wanna print it, you have to pay additional 4 euro???? Then what was the 10 euro for? The booths in train stations are better and cheaper
