The photo specifications in the app are based on publicly available requirements published by the official government or issuing authority of each country. This page links to those official sources — one for every document SpecSnap supports — so you can verify the current requirements yourself.
Government requirements can change at any time. Always confirm the current rules with the official source below before submitting your application. SpecSnap is a tool to help you prepare a compliant photo; it does not guarantee acceptance by any authority.
