        • The recording device uses software to check the fulfilment of the biometric requirements of the image
        • It is important that babies or small children can be held safely. However, no parts of the parents' bodies should be visible.
        • Sometimes it is necessary to cancel the process because small children feel uncomfortable when the photo is taken automatically. The biometric requirements cannot then be met and no photo is possible. In these cases, it is necessary to use the service via an external photo service.
    • It is also possible to have digital biometric photographs taken by private service providers licensed by the federal government. In this case, the applicant must bring a special QR code that can be used to access the images in a secure cloud
