To save time on registration of a passport, you can refer to the functionality of a single portal. Through it you can independently submit all documents. Fill out the application, all personal data, and then upload photos. It is about the last paragraph will be discussed in this article. Let's figure out how to take a photo on international passport  and upload it to the site yourself.

Possible options for photographing

You can take a photo on the international passport in the following ways:

• go to the photo studio;
• take pictures yourself.

If you choose the first method, then ask the master to copy the files to your flash drive or disk, so that you can download them to the State Services at home. To choose the right photo when visiting the salon, you must familiarize yourself with all the requirements for images that are established by law. Let's understand this question.

Technical requirements

Requirements for a photo on a document of a new sample and an old differ slightly. In this article, we consider the option only with the new model. To use the pictures on the State Services, you must comply with the following requirements for them:

1. the size of one shot must be strictly 35 by 45 mm;
2. color or black and white image - does not matter;
3. printing on matte paper only;
4. full face image;
5. light background, the person should be in the frame in the center and look into the camera.

Currently, most branches of the FMS independently photograph people on special devices. But since we prepare the document through the state services, we will need to have pictures on hand.

So, when you come to the photo studio, name the type of photos to the master, take a picture and ask to upload pictures to a USB flash drive or disk. The wizard must first process the frames through special programs, so you should have no problems.

But if you do not want to pay money for the salon and can do the material yourself, and then upload the photo to a single portal for decoration? In this case, let's see how to take a photo.

We have dealt with technical requirements. We now turn to how the picture should look for a passport. There are also a number of rules that must be followed. If they are not taken into account, the FMS staff simply will not take them to work, even if all the technical parameters are met.

Below is an example of a correct image (1) and an incorrect one (2):

Correct photo

Examples of wrong photos

So, the requirements for the content of a photo passport for state services:

1. Background. Exceptionally white. No other colors. There should also be no illuminated and dark places;
2. Clothing. You must look neat. The color of the clothes should be darker than the background, but not necessarily black or bright. You can not be photographed in overalls, pajamas and so on. It is best to choose a strict shirt, sweater or blouse;
3. Location Your head should be strictly centered in the photo. The gaze is straight;
4. the absence of any headgear (unless it is contrary to religion).

Now you know how to take a photo, so that it can be used for state services for international passports. To avoid mistakes, use simple, but at the same time effective advice:

• photo for public services should be done in good light. It is best to use daylight with extra lamps that go straight to the face. Place them on top so that the light does not make you squint;
• monochrome fabric can be used for the background. Before photographing it must be straightened so that the image could not see the folds.

The next step is the parameters of the photo for the international passport in electronic form. Let's talk about them.

File options

Before you upload a photo to the portal, you need to make sure that it matches the generally accepted requirements:

• Jpg resolution;
• 450dpi;
• the minimum file size is 200Kb;
• the size of one photo should correspond to the paper analog - 35 by 45 mm.

It is in this format that you need to upload photos for your international passport to the single portal of state services. But before that you need to edit the pictures.

Which editors to use?

It is best to use simple and affordable programs. If your computer is running on the Windows operating system, then Paint or Paint.net will be built into it. With it, you can remove the red-eye effect, make a correction, and so on. You can find it in the Start menu - standard programs - Paint.

Launch the graphic editor and open the snapshots taken earlier. You can edit the photo for the passport at will. The main thing is not to use effects, change the shape of the face, and so on. It is allowed to adjust the skin color, red eyes, spots, acne and so on. You must remain recognizable in the photo. Also edited a picture on the site itself before sending the application. If you forgot to do something, you can do it directly on the portal.

After editing the photo on the passport in electronic form is sent to the site. Let's take a step by step guide.

What account do I need to have?

It is worth mentioning that in order to issue a passport through a single portal, you will need a verified account. Without the last confirmation status, you will not be able to access the application form and upload photos to the international passport for state services.
