July 26, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Travel News
Today Paspic Limited launches in the US http://www.paspic.com/usa, the Internet's first biometric e-photo booth (patents pending) that checks instantly if your photo fits the requirements and cuts it to size, guaranteeing that the customer’s passport photos will not be rejected by the Passport Services Office.

Paspic has been supplying quality passport photographs in the United Kingdom for the last 6 years to customers who order them over the internet. As from today we are bringing our expertise gained in the UK to the United States. Since the passport authorities have introduced strict biometric requirements more and more people have had their passport photos rejected. Paspic has introduced an innovative and unique Platform - their free automated service checks instantly if your photo fits the requirements and cuts it to size. The customer can order their passport photos and the passport photo prints are posted to them within 24 hours.
Quick, secure and convenient, this free service offers the reassurance that the passport photo will be accepted by the US Passport Services Office without the hassle. Paspic provides a genuine solution to mothers with babies, people who have difficulties travelling and those who simply want to save time and money, but do not want to risk having the photo rejected by the Passport Services Office.
The Paspic website includes tutorial videos demonstrating how to take your passport photograph from the comfort of your home using your digital camera.
The cost of the Passport Photo printing service is $6.99 per set. Postage is free.
QUALITY CONTROL: The Paspic team manually checks all passport photos ordered before posting them to our customers. If the photo is not compliant the customer is notified by email and asked to provide a new picture.
