Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is this an official HM Passport Office or GOV.UK photo check?

No. We're an independent service — not affiliated with HM Passport Office or GOV.UK. Your photo is measured against the same published GOV.UK photo rules; the official page is linked at the bottom of this page.

Do you fix or alter my photo during the check?

No. The verdict is on the file exactly as you uploaded it — nothing is cropped, brightened, or replaced. If a failed check is something software can honestly fix, we offer that as a separate, optional step; the check itself changes nothing.

What happens to my photo after the check?

It's used only to run the checks and deleted automatically within a day. No account, no photo library, no reuse.

What does the check cost?

Nothing. The verdict, the full list of results, and the retake advice are free. You only pay if you choose to have a fixable photo fixed — and only after you see the fixed version pass.
