📸 Official Photo Tool (Check Compliance)

Use the official U.S. Department of State photo tool to verify and crop your photo for compliance.

This tool can automatically crop your picture to 600x600 pixels. If you receive an error stating the photo already has 600x600 dimensions showing a cross sign, it means your photo is correctly sized.
