Passport photo online reviews

Some of the reviews on Visafoto from Trustpilot:

“It worked great for us, we needed photos for a US passport in the Netherlands but all the photo places were closed due to Covid. We got the digital passport photos via E-mail from visafoto.com and then had them printed on 10x15cm paper by Hema which then met all requirements, incl. the correct 2.5 x 2.5 cm size. The picture was accepted by the US Consulate without any problems!”.

“It was very simple, easy, and straightforward. The final photos are really good with white background”.

“It is very simple and fast, I'm using it for the second time. This time the photo failed the validation done by the consulate website. The customer support responded promptly and help to re-generate a couple of new photos”.
