Is the passport photo taken on the spot or prepared by yourself?

Through the digital photo collection system of entry-exit documents, all networked photo studios in the province send the photos to the China Telecom through-train certificate data photo collection service center for quality inspection. If the photos pass the quality inspection, the photo library can print the Receipt of Entry-Exit Digital Photos Collection in Qinghai Province and give it to the user. If the photo quality is not up to standard, the applicant can ask the studio to retake it for free.

Subsequently, the China Telecom Collection Service Center sent the photos to the photo database of the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau of the Provincial Public Security Department through a special line, which was specially used for applicants to make entry-exit documents. Applicants only need to take the digital photo printed by the photo studio to receive the receipt and a paper photo (used to paste the application form) to apply for entry and exit documents at the exit and entry administration department of the public security organ.

Extended data

If you apply for an ordinary passport, a Hong Kong and Macao pass or a mainland resident's pass to and from Taiwan for the first time and renew or reissue it, the provincial public security exit-entry administration department will receive a receipt for digital photos and a paper photo (used to paste the application form) at the acceptance window.

The Exit-Entry Administration of the Provincial Public Security Department does not set uniform charging standards, and the people who apply for permits can choose cost-effective photo studios to take photos of entry-exit documents. China Telecom's through train certificate digital photo collection service center has issued relevant implementation measures, and will establish "integrity files" for registered photo studios according to complaints and comments from the masses.
