For passport applications in Germany, the authority must capture the photo or a participating provider must transmit it securely. PassPixo does not provide that channel: a JPG or print is not a substitute. A narrow paper-photo exception exists for certain applications abroad when authority capture is unavailable; check with that office. Purchases of this format are therefore unavailable here.
