Getting a passport photo could soon become as simple as opening a smartphone or laptop if a new plan outlined by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio becomes reality.
Speaking at an event unveiling a redesigned US passport, Rubio revealed that the State Department is developing a system that would allow Americans to submit passport photos entirely online. Instead of visiting pharmacies such as CVS or Walgreens for printed passport pictures, applicants would use their device's camera while facial recognition technology verifies the image in real time.
