How it works
1. Pick the programme
Choose the passport, visa or ID you are applying for. The official rules load automatically.
2. Take or upload a photo
A phone photo against a plain wall is enough. Light and tilt are corrected automatically; the face is never altered.
3. Get a plain answer
"Photo OK", or exactly what to change. Download the file or a 4×6 print sheet.
Submitting your application from New York City
US passport applications in New York City are accepted at passport acceptance facilities (many post offices, libraries and county clerk offices), or renewals can be sent by mail, or online where eligible. DS-160 and DV Lottery photos are uploaded digitally, so the file size and pixel limits matter as much as the framing.
Questions
How much is a passport photo in New York City with PassportLens?
One checked photo costs USD 7.99, and you can download it as a file or a print sheet. Businesses in New York City can take unlimited photos on Silver for USD 75 a month.
Can I take my passport photo at home in New York City?
Yes, if the programme allows it. Stand in front of a plain, light wall with even light from the front and have someone take the photo from about 1.2 metres away, with the camera at eye level. PassportLens checks the result and tells you plainly if you need to retake it.
Is acceptance guaranteed?
No tool can guarantee it, because the issuing authority makes the final decision. PassportLens checks every measurable rule it publishes (size, head position, background, file limits) so avoidable mistakes are caught before you submit.
