Biometric-compatible photos must be done at the site of issuance, because people just cannot stop smiling and doing other nonsense when taking photographs themselves.
A photo booth at the site of issuance is very cheap compared to salaries of employees who work there. And it lowers total cost of issuance when you consider costs on the side of the citizen.
