First, we advise you to check whether the place where you want to have your photo taken is IDPC compliant. To check it, go to its website or directly to it and look for the ID photo code logo, which will ensure that you are in the right place. Then, it can be easily obtained:

  • at a photographer’s studio

You can even take a valid passport photo with your unique digital photo code at home.
