Was your AI ID photo rejected at the counter?

Since July 2023, photos that are AI-generated or heavily retouched cannot be used for a Korean passport, resident registration card or driver’s license. Let’s redo it with a photo you actually took.

AI-generated ID photos — can you actually use them?

Short answer: 🤚 No. Here is why.

Notice that AI-generated ID photos are not accepted

1. It breaks the legal requirement

An ID photo must be a real photograph taken within the last six months.

2. You cannot be identified

Photos edited, composited or generated with AI make it hard to identify you, which defeats the purpose of an ID. If it is caught during issuance it is grounds for rejection, and for passports it can lead to denied entry or detention at immigration.

3. Even the apps say so

Apps such as SNOW explicitly state their photos cannot be used for identification.

Pretty photos are nice, but for an ID photo, the real you wins 👍

This page explains the rules for guidance only. Whether your photo is accepted is decided by the office you submit it to.

PicMe never generates your face

We use the photo you actually took. We only fix the size and the background, and an expert checks it — if it does not meet the spec we tell you before printing. We never generate a face that does not exist.

Three steps, done

Upload a photo you already have, or take one now with your phone camera.

Expert check (free, optional)

We check it against the spec. If something is off, we tell you before printing.
