Photography Question

photos for legal documents


I have a friend who recently came from Russia, she has her passport photos and a green card but has ask me to do more photos for her for some legal documents, but I'm just not sure what she needs . Shes been to the DMV already.( she doesnt like the photos ... who does like them??) I dont even know how to do passport photos except that that need to be head and shoulders with a plain white or cream background. but I dont even know if they could be used leagally. Dont they have to be from some place like the DMV to be legal? and what other kind of photos could she need ? thanks Brenda

  As far as Brenda's question goes, while the passport office at Department of State here determines the usefulness of the photos submitted along with an application for a passport, DMV's don't actually use photos any more, do they? I thought they were all digitized along with a thumbprint (in California) and automatically scanned onto the drivers license which is sealed.

I agree, talk to DMV. I don't think you can submit your own photos. They;re supposed to look bad. Right?
