About Us
The Backstory
In 2023, something exciting emerged in Berlin: passport-selfie.com, officially known as Computer Vision Solutions UG (haftungsbeschränkt). It was founded by Timur Amirov after some frustrating experiences with photo booths in the city led him to think, “There has to be a better way!” After repeatedly ending up with unusable passport photos, Timur had enough and decided to create a more straightforward solution.
That's how the idea for passport-selfie.com was born. The goal? To make the process of getting a passport photo simpler, faster, and more convenient—all online. No more long waits or uncertain results. Since then, the service has helped thousands of people, whether individuals, families, or even new parents with their newborns. Anyone who has ever struggled with the strict requirements for passport photos knows how frustrating it can be. This is where passport-selfie.com steps in: simple, quick, and stress-free.
What makes this service special is the down-to-earth and honest approach of the team. As an officially registered German company, passport-selfie.com stands for transparency and data protection. No false promises, no hidden costs. What you see is what you get—an honest service that delivers what it promises.
Timur and his small team have managed to create a simple yet brilliant solution to an everyday problem. They’re not trying to change the world—but they’re making sure that at least the part involving passport photos is a bit easier and more relaxed. And in a hectic world, that sometimes counts for more than you’d think.
