You can get a digital passport photo in several ways:

• At photo booths or shops : Many photo booths in shopping malls or government offices now offer digital passport photos with a code you can use for online passport applications. This is common in the UK and some other countries

• Professional photo studios : These studios have experienced photographers and equipment to produce high-quality digital passport photos that meet official requirements. They can provide digital copies by email or USB, though this option is usually more expensive and requires an appointment

• Online passport photo services/apps : You can take a photo yourself using your smartphone or upload an existing photo to an online service like PhotoAiD or epassportphoto.com. These services use software and expert checks to ensure your photo meets government standards and provide you a compliant digital photo instantly via email

• At home with your smartphone : Using apps such as PhotoAiD, you can take a compliant digital passport photo yourself in a well-lit room and get it verified by AI and human experts. The photo is then sent to you digitally for online passport applications

• Retail stores with photo services : Some stores like Walgreens, Timpson, or Max Spielmann offer digital passport photo services, either through in-store photographers or photo booths that provide digital copies along with printed photos

For U.S. passports, digital photos must be recent, unaltered, and meet specific size and quality criteria. The U.S. Department of State accepts digital photos uploaded online for passport renewals

. In summary, the easiest and most convenient ways to get a digital passport photo are either by using an online service with your smartphone or visiting a photo booth or professional studio that provides digital copies.
