What you get

  • Digital photos for up to 4 people, each at the exact official size
  • 4 printed photos per person on photo paper, mailed anywhere in the US

  • Each person’s photo is guaranteed on its own; free retakes for 60 days

How it works

  1. Take the photo at home

    With your phone or webcam, in front of a plain light wall. The owl coaches you live on distance, light and expression; someone else can hold the phone.

  2. We check every official rule

    We crop it to the official size and check background, head size, lighting, expression and more. If something fails you see why and retake it, free.

  3. Pay only when it passes

    You see the finished photo before you pay. No account needed.

  4. Get your photo

    Add each person after the first one passes. Download the files right away; we print 4 photos per person on photo paper and mail them anywhere in the US, shipping included. They go by USPS First-Class Mail and usually arrive 2–5 days after they leave the lab; we email you the tracking.
