Frequently asked questions
- What requirements have been checked?
- Scope: Approved photographer/booth and exceptional on-site rules; check application route
- Does a technical check guarantee acceptance?
- No. The authority checks the photograph and submission route. Missing or conflicting requirements are identified above; a passing file-size check is not a biometric certification.
- Why does ANTS specifically require the photo to be recent?
- A photo older than 6 months is considered unreliable for identity verification against your current appearance — ANTS-linked systems and prefecture staff routinely reject older photos even if the framing and background are otherwise correct.
