A quick peek
The procedure is very quick, the quality of service is also good. I got the background of my photo changed to white, and the software gave me a warning that my first photo wasn’t good quality (due to the indoor light). The tips provided, on how to take a good passport photo by your cell phone camera, are extremely useful. Thanks.
I love that they do not just print the photo, they ensure the quality of the photo will be accepted by the passport authority. They do not stop until they get it right. Awesome service. Can't wait to get my photos!
Brilliant service - each photo I took was analyzed and where it was not sufficient quality I was able to retake for free. When one is up to standard they take it and remove the background and make any changes necessary to get the photo to a standard where it will be accepted by the passport office. The one sent got accepted no problem. I would definitely recommend as probably the only way to pretty much guarantee your photo will be accepted.
Fast, reliable, great service. Quality of pics was just what I needed and I got the shot that I wanted to have for 10 years. Would certainly use again.

If you're renewing an adult passport, the good news is that you do not need a guarantor to sign any of your photos.
For applying to a New Passport (Adult) or for applying to a Child’s Passport - a guarantor is required to sign your photos.
The guarantor must do so by doing the following:
- Clearly write "I certify this to be a true likeness of (applicant's or child’s name)" for an application
- Sign the back of the photo
Your guarantor can be anyone, including a family member or member of your household
You don't need a guarantor if you're renewing your passport. You only need a guarantor if you're applying for a passport for the first time or you aren't eligible to renew your passport.
Your Guarantor must:
- have known you for at least 2 years
- If the guarantor is for your child's passport, they must have known you for at least 2 years and must know of your child.
- be available if we need to contact them
- be a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older
- provide the information needed that’s in their passport
- have been 16 years of age or older when they applied for their own passport
- hold a 5-year or 10-year Canadian passport that, on the day you submit your application, is expired for no more than 1 year, or valid
- If you're the parent or legal guardian that is applying on behalf of a child, you cannot sign as guarantor on the child’s application. However, the other parent or legal guardian (not submitting the application) can sign as long as they meet the requirements
