US Issues Fresh Warning to Nigerians Over AI-Edited Passport Photos

The mission explained that photos must be recent, taken within the last six months, and accurately reflect the applicant’s current appearance to help TSA and CBP officials verify identity at borders. It warned that submitting digitally altered photos could significantly delay application processing, and advised applicants to consult official US passport photo guidelines before submission.
