How to take the Austria Passport and ID photo on your phone

Stand about an arm's length from a plain light grey or white wall, facing a window or other soft light, so there are no shadows on your face or behind you.

Tilt clear glasses so they don't reflect the light, push your hair away from your eyes and eyebrows, and keep a neutral face with your mouth closed.

Hold the phone at eye level, or ask someone to take it. Picproved's camera tells you when your head is straight, centred and the right size.

Picproved crops the photo to 35×45 mm (413×531 pixels) with the head 29 to 36 mm tall, evens out the light grey background and checks every rule before you save.

Save the file to upload, or a print sheet to print at a photo kiosk.
