VisaHQ, VisaCentral and Visa Headquarters are names you may come across while looking for a visa photo — but none of them sets photo rules. They are private visa services that prepare and file applications for travelers, and the photo requirement always comes from the country whose visa you are applying for. There is no “VisaHQ photo”, “VisaCentral photo” or “Visa Headquarters photo” size to match, so IDPhotoBy does not prepare photos under any of these three names.
What we can do: prepare photos for specific destination visas and for a US passport — see the list below.
Why there's no VisaHQ, VisaCentral or Visa Headquarters photo to make online
VisaHQ. On its own About page, VisaHQ describes a service that helps travelers apply — not an office that issues anything:
“Since 2003, VisaHQ.com has helped travellers apply online for visas to virtually any country in the world — through one universal, 100% paperless electronic form. We also obtain, renew and replace passports for U.S. citizens.”
Its Terms of Service set out the limits of that role — VisaHQ.com “acts solely as a facilitator and not as a guarantor of approval”. Even the page VisaHQ addresses to embassies and governments says who owns the rules: “Your government sets all eligibility rules, document requirements, and fee structures”. The site belongs to a private company: “VisaHQ and VisaHQ logo are registered trademarks of VisaHQ.com, Inc.” (Sources: VisaHQ's About us page, Terms of Service and Government & Embassies page.)
VisaCentral. VisaCentral's own FAQ describes the same kind of service:
“VisaCentral obtains travel visas by submitting a completed travel visa application, and other required documents, to embassies or consulates on your behalf.”
Its homepage offers a document check before filing — “A VisaCentral expert will review all of your documents to confirm your application is accurate, complete and ready for submission.” — and the terms published on visacentral.com state who writes the rules:
“Each country's requirements for passports and visas or document services and related information are established by sovereign nations and are subject to change without notice.”
(Sources: VisaCentral's Travel Visa FAQs, homepage and terms of use.)
Visa Headquarters. There is no separate Visa Headquarters website to read: the visaheadquarters.com domain permanently redirects to www.visahq.com, VisaHQ's site. The page it lands on describes a service that does the filing for you:
“Tell us where you're going. We'll check requirements, prepare your application, file it with the consulate and ship the visa back to you — fully tracked.”
The page carries a private company's copyright line: “© 2003-2026 VisaHQ.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved.” (Source: the www.visahq.com homepage, where visaheadquarters.com redirects.)
Side by side, the three read the same way: a private service that checks, prepares or files your paperwork to rules someone else sets. None of them issues visas, and none has a photo requirement of its own. That is why a label such as “VisaHQ visa photo (any country)” can't become one photo: “any country” covers dozens of official photo specifications that don't agree with each other. So a photo size labeled “VisaHQ” or “VisaCentral” is not that service's rule — check it against your destination.
A photo is only as right as the requirement behind it — and these three names have none.
Where your photo requirement really comes from
The rule for your photo belongs to the destination country's own visa-issuing authority — its embassy, consulate or official e-visa portal. That holds whether you apply yourself or through a visa service: the size, background and other photo details are the authority's call. VisaCentral's own FAQ says as much: “While the specific requirements vary, most countries require that you submit recent photographs, complete an application form, and submit your actual passport.”
To find yours:
- Pin down the exact visa you are applying for — destination country and visa type.
- Open that country's own requirement on its embassy, consulate or official e-visa portal.
- Make your photo to that specification, not to a figure attached to a service's name.
