In life, there are always things that you have to do that you really don’t want to do. Now, that may be how it is, but the Internet can certainly simplify many of these tasks. For example, let’s examine something as random as getting a passport photo taken. My wife recently had to do get this done for our Paris trip that has already come and gone, and it’s a pesky and somewhat humiliating thing to take care of. I don’t know about you, but it makes me feel like I’m back in school or in one of those toddler portraits, except without the toy dangling in front of my face in an attempt to get me to smile. As an alternative to going elsewhere, why not just use ePassportPhoto right from your own home?
A passport photo is one of the easiest pictures to take, so it only makes sense that some people would want to take care of this themselves. Before taking the photo, be sure to read through the dos and don’ts that ePassportPhoto suggests. Once you have a photo to work with, upload it through the site, rotate and crop it if the need arises, and then download and print out your photo sheet. The image should be printed out as a regular 4×6 photo, and ePassportPhoto links to numerous international online photo developers who can do the work for you and save you some money. After all, we all like to get a good deal.

Just a little anecdote about passport photos. The October after 9/11, my then-wife and I decided it was time to quit procrastinating, and to get our passports, since we had developed the habit of going to Puerto Vallarta, around Thanksgiving. We had even gotten passport photos taken, in February, jogged by a special at Costco.
When we handed the photos to the passport lady, she asked how old they were. We asked why. She said they had to be no more than six months old. I asked how they’d know, if there was no date on them. She said they had a way of testing them. Since it was so close to six months, we decided to take the chance and submit those. (They ended up being fine, BTW.)
Then I asked how long a passport is good. “Ten years,” says she! Your government at work.

Hmmm……let’s think about this a bit. Identity theft is a large, and growing, issue/problem. So my official passport photo is now out there on the www for anyone to acquire? I don’t think so.

Hi,
I tried to use your after your recommendation for epassportphoto.com but guess what?
They do not provide a $3.50 service. “Free” but I have to pay postage to Snapfish.
There is no address of this company.
You are promoting a .con company.
I am Very disappointed.
Shushu.
