Revised photo service: Direct acquisition of passport photos at the local registry and passport office now offered
The County of Eichstätt has introduced a new Point-ID system for taking biometric passport photos at the town hall, aiming to simplify and standardize the photo capture process for official documents.
- Automated Photo Capture
Residents no longer need to visit a professional photo studio. Instead, they can have their biometric passport photos taken directly at the town hall using a specialized camera setup.
- Compliance with Standards
The Point-ID system ensures that photos meet all biometric and legal requirements, including proper positioning, lighting, background, and facial expression.
- User-Friendly Design
Visitors can use the Point-ID terminal independently or with assistance from town hall staff, making it user-friendly for everyone, including those who are not tech-savvy.
- Immediate Verification and Printing
After the photo is taken, the system immediately verifies it against the official criteria. If the photo passes, it can be printed on the spot or integrated directly into the passport application process.
- Efficient Application Process
This integration reduces wait times and the chance of photo rejection, speeding up the overall passport application workflow at the town hall.
- Pricing and Availability
The cost for a photo is six euros, payable in cash or by EC card on site. No appointments are necessary for photos at the town hall. Both adults and children can have their photos taken directly on site. Staff from the registration office are available to assist if needed.
The Point-ID system is part of a broader communication strategy by the County of Eichstätt, as indicated by its publication in a newsletter. The press release regarding this change was issued by the Press Office/City of Eichstätt, but the publication of the press release was not attributed to a specific date or time.
A transitional arrangement allows for paper photos to be accepted until 31st July. The press release was not accompanied by any advertisements in the excerpt provided. The County of Eichstätt has issued this press release as part of its ongoing efforts to improve public services and streamline administrative processes.
