Ratings and reviews

Pay attention, the charge starts in dollars then becomes euro when charged, causing a foreign currency fee with some payment methods. The first photo was rejected, they suggested I not smile and close my mouth, neither of which was an issue, no fee to reshoot, but once I did it errored out... but then showed processing. Now 50% and photo rejected, with no prompt to retake or that the new one was processing...just all around not turning out to be a simple process.

Great service! I made an minor error filling the french driver's license application so they had me redo it from scratch (typical french). The e-photo code I had from Smartphone-id could not be reused 🙄. I contacted CS and they emailed me a new code, within a couple of hours, NO CHARGE! I'll add that the app is pretty easy to use. Highly recommend.

It's a scam. If you're trying to get your passport photo, the app will show you a photo with your background removed by them and then reject the photo during review because you have background. A large reason for using this app is the background removal so I see no benefit to continuing to submit photos when they don't use the background removed photo during review. The process will ultimately waste your money and time. I recommend going elsewhere.
