As a dual US France citizen I needed photos for my French passport and national ID application that met the exacting requirements of France. I found Bruce and team to be very helpful, accommodating, and prompt. The service was fast, accurate and easy. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Patrick Flandreau

Excellent service, that I used for the second time after being very satisfied the first time for my kids French passports renewal. This time was to renew my French passport. Bruce is very professional. My first uploaded photo was rejected which shows high standards in checking photo quality . My photo was then received promptly and was accepted for my passport renewal with no issue. I will just continue using this service again when needed. Thank you.

Great! Bruce told us the photo we took didn't work, so we adjusted to his recommendations and got photos that were accepted for the passport. It was even more important for us as it was a child photo and we didn't want to go through the passport process multiple times!

The photos came very fast, a lot faster than what it said (between 1 and 9 days). They actually arrived a couple of days after I got the notification that they had shipped. The process was very smooth: I uploaded my photos, I got notifications with every step of the process in no time at all. The pictures were exactly as they should be with the requirements I had asked for. Great service for a good price!
