What we check, and what we can’t

On your device, we measure the head size and where it sits, the eye line, the wall behind you, the light on your face, the pose and the sharpness against this rule, and we crop the photo to its size. We level, resize and crop it, and nothing else.

We can’t tell how recent the photo is, whether it still looks like you, or what the office’s own reviewer will see on the day. The passport office decides whether to accept it.

Why a real photo matters

The Lebanese passport extension rule on editing, in short

Photos must be new, not taken from a previous photo.

Our summary of Consulate General of Lebanon in Detroit, Passport.

Start with your original camera photo. Check the document’s rules, including whether your face fills 70–80% of the photo’s height.

We don’t generate your photo. We level, scale and crop your original pixels to 1.37 × 1.77 in, then show you the head height and the margins before you pay.

Our guides cover AI and passport photos and changing a photo’s background.

Changes to this page’s rule

  1. Document pages now show a short list of key facts, each naming its source authority and record date, before the complete rule table.
  2. Photo for USCIS forms: the page now says first that USCIS will not use or reuse self-submitted photographs (Policy Alert PA-2025-29, December 12, 2025), and the editing rule now uses the form instructions’ own words (unmounted and unretouched). Both come from the September 28 check; they were missing from the page.
  3. Added 6 documents (Saudi tourist eVisa, Egyptian passport, Jordanian passport renewal, Philippine dual citizenship, Lebanese passport extension, UAE passport), each checked against its government’s pages.

Questions

Can I use ChatGPT or an AI app for my Lebanese passport extension photo?

For a generated or retouched photo, follow the document’s editing rule. Photos must be new, not taken from a previous photo. That is our summary of the rule, from the Lebanese Consulate General in Detroit. Reading or checking rules with a chatbot is a separate use; verify its answer against the authority’s source. We only level, scale and crop your photo.

Can I wear glasses in a Lebanese passport extension photo?

Only with no glare, no tint and your eyes fully visible. Taking them off is the safest choice.

What do I get for $9.95?

You get printable 4 × 6 in and 5 × 7 in sheets you can print at any drugstore. The application asks for 3 photos.

Where do I get my files?

On your order page after you pay, with no account to make.
