This is for the U.S. applying outward. 4 photos for each member, does it have to be done by a professional? We have our own real camera and was wondering if we could take it ourselves. What information needs to be on the back of the photos?

Photos need to be taken at a studio, and need to be STAMPED at the back with the studio name, address, phone number and date the pics were taken

Is there somewhere it says that, I couldn't find it.

Have you had a look at the passport photos specifications and instructions? It must be taken by a commercial photographer with the address of th photography studio as well as date it was taken and your date of birth. I would go to a professional photographer for something like this. Please refer to US guideline with regards to passport photos:

Ok, I see it now. I didn't have the 2016 revision, I had the 2014.

It's also important to know that passport photos and PR photos are NOT exactly the same.

Make sure the photographer follows the specification for PR photos, to include the name and DOB of the applicant.

While the sizes are the same, the PR photo requires name and DOB information on one of the two photos.

Thank you! I'll make sure it's on there.
