Why does a photo kiosk enforce passport photo requirements?

• tssva 7y ago
  Because it is a photo kiosk for taking passport photos.

    That doesn't clarify much. Is this some kind of official, government-sanctioned kiosk, whose approval of a photo carries some sort of final authority, and it doesn't just pass the photo on to the passport office? Because otherwise, it would work just fine without this enforcement functionality.

      Submitting a bad photo with your passport application can really suck. It delays things a lot and potentially even costs you a submission fee. The point of passport photo services is to mimic (or try to) the official government photo reviewers criteria. That's the value it provides. Learning that you will be rejected quickly rather than slowly.

        Merely informing you of a bad photo would provide the same value. No need for enforcement.
