The ordering procedure
After uploading and ordering a photo, you receive a brief confirmation email.
If you ordered a biometric passport picture or a visa picture, we'll first make a suitablity check. If your picture is suitable, we'll proceed.
Unsuitable photos can be swapped easily. But if we do not receive a feedback to our messages within 3 business days, we might send you the most recent photo. But if there is any chance for the image being accepted, we retouch and fine-tune it the best we can. However, we can no longer guarantee acceptance, in this case. Therefore check your email mailbox the day after ordering.
We fine-tune every single ordered photo, to optimally set the photographed person in the scene and to guarantee the acceptance by the authorities.
Orders with express option are prioritized and will be processed within 8 hours and afterwards shipped by priority air mail. They are the fastest option. Check out the shipping time estimator for your country.
Orders can be paid via PayPal, Sofort and bank transfer.
In case you have got questions, tips or criticism you reach us via [email protected].
