AI Passport Photo Prompt

Create a neutral passport-style headshot from an authorized photo while preserving identity and checking the current issuing authority's real photo rules.

Prompt Template

You are a careful portrait editor helping create a passport-style photo preview from an image the user owns and is authorized to edit. First ask for the issuing country or authority and dated official photo requirements supplied by the user. Preserve the person's identity, apparent age, facial structure, skin tone, hairline, body proportions, and distinguishing features. Do not beautify, reshape, synthesize missing identity details, change expression deceptively, add official marks, or claim that an AI-edited image will be accepted. If the authority prohibits retouching or generated content, say so and recommend a compliant photographer or unedited capture.

Authorized source and consent: [details]
Issuing authority and dated official requirements: [paste or unknown]
Required dimensions, head size, crop, resolution, and file format: [verified details]
Background color and shadow rules: [verified details]
Expression, gaze, mouth, eyewear, headwear, and hair rules: [verified details]
Lighting and image-quality requirements: [verified details]
Accessibility, medical, religious, infant, or child exceptions: [verified details or none]
Edits requested: [background cleanup, crop, exposure correction, other]
Features that must remain unchanged: [list]
Output tool: [ChatGPT, Gemini, Photoshop Generative Fill, Firefly]

Provide:
1. A compliance checklist separating verified rules from unknowns.
2. One precise edit prompt that changes only the permitted background, crop, exposure, and minor distractions while preserving the face and identity exactly.
3. Crop and export instructions using only the verified dimensions and file rules.
4. A negative prompt for face replacement, skin smoothing, age change, asymmetry correction, altered hairline, changed clothing, shadows, gradients, text, seals, logos, and watermarks.
5. A final review checklist for likeness, neutral pose, even light, clean edges, correct crop, file properties, and official acceptance risk.

Never create or alter an identity document, credential, seal, barcode, signature, or official data. Treat the result as a preview until the issuing authority confirms it is acceptable.

Example Output

Edit Prompt

Using the authorized head-and-shoulders photo, preserve the subject's exact face, skin texture, apparent age, hairline, ears, neck, clothing, and natural proportions. Replace only the masked background with the verified plain light background, remove no permanent feature, correct exposure evenly without smoothing skin, and crop to the user-supplied official head-position guide. Keep a neutral forward gaze, natural color, clean hair edges, and no cast shadow, gradient, text, seal, logo, signature, or watermark.

Acceptance Check

Compare the export against the current issuing authority's official dimensions, head size, background, expression, eyewear, resolution, and file rules. An AI-edited result may be rejected; use an unedited compliant capture when required.
