Find the authority
Government, immigration, passport or other issuing-authority material is the preferred source.
SOURCE & EDITORIAL METHOD
How FastIDPhoto verifies photo requirements
FastIDPhoto is an independent photo-preparation service. We make document-photo rules easier to understand by storing source, scope, normalized technical fields and verification dates. The issuing authority remains the final source for current requirements.
76verified records
43countries / jurisdictions
68source records represented
2
Normalize only supported fields
We store a field only when the source supports the value. A missing field stays unknown rather than becoming an invented rule.
3
Record scope
Country, document family, application type, age group and application channel are kept separate when the source distinguishes them.
4
Track verification
Each published rule carries source and verification metadata so visitors can see when it was reviewed.
5
Handle conflicts
Conflicting evidence is not silently merged. Unresolved issues stay out of the primary-source public rule.
6
Update the public page
The country/document page is generated from the verified catalog so the public explanation and data stay aligned.
WHAT THE DATE MEANS
Last Verified is a research date, not a guarantee
A requirement can change after it has been reviewed. For that reason, FastIDPhoto shows the official source link on public requirement pages and recommends checking the issuing authority immediately before submission.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The exact application context matters
The same country can have different rules for passport, visa, online upload, printed photos or children. Requirement Match is designed to ask for that context rather than guessing.
