ePassportPhoto.com
continues to revolutionize the passport photo market, achieving 100%
year-over-year growth and increasing global market penetration
Palo Alto, Calif. – October 20, 2008 – ePassportPhoto.com,
the leading online passport photo service, has provided over 2 million free
passport photos to users around the globe. ePassportPhoto.com provides a unique
system that allows users to upload photos and generate digital passport photo
sheets meeting the specific requirements of over 60 passport issuing
authorities.
ePassportPhoto.com is a truly global online service
provider, able to provide passport photos according to the exact specifications
for over 60 different countries. This includes ensuring the photos are of the
exact size and resolution requirements, and that the subject is properly
positioned in the photo. The process is incredibly simple; the user uploads a
suitable image to ePassportPhoto.com, specifies which country the passport
application is for, and a digital passport photo sheet is returned, matching
that country’s requirements exactly. ePassportPhoto.com is used not only for
passports, but for any photo identification, ranging from immigration permits
to student IDs and ski passes.
In the last year ePassportPhoto.com has seen year-over-year
growth of more than 100% in visitors and revenues. Increased exposure has come
about though online and offline marketing, word of mouth and the localization
of the interface to eight languages. Fastest growing markets are within Europe,
especially in Italy, France and Germany, where ePassportPhoto.com is achieving
significant market penetration and acceptance.
In addition to providing a service for consumers,
ePassportPhoto.com has started to market its white-label solution for companies
wishing to enhance their photo ID applications. A recent example is the
UK-based Boomerang student debit card (http://www.boomerangprepaidcard.co.uk).
Boomerang selected ePassportPhoto.com as a provider of ID photos, enabling
students to complete the entire application process online. By avoiding the
need to rely on standard mail to accept student photos, Boomerang was able to
significantly streamline the approval process and dramatically reduce costs.
“I’m extremely excited about the full online experience our
customers get with the ePassportPhoto.com photo engine,” said Andy Dagger,
Managing Director at Boomerang. “Our customers get access to a proven and
tested experience while we get the operational peace of mind.”
