You don't need a photo booth or a drugstore. With decent window light and an iPhone, a compliant passport photo takes 30 seconds — and costs a fraction of the $17 retail price.

Is a home photo really accepted?
Yes. Authorities check the photo's compliance (size, background, head position), not where it was taken. The app enforces those rules.
How do I print it?
Export the 4×6 in print sheet and print it at any drugstore kiosk for under $1 — instead of paying $17 for a booth.
