You also need specific passport photos (because your phone won't cut it), which cost around $17.
It's a racket. Your phone will cut it. I used to work somewhere that did passport photos as a side business. We had a fucked up white screen, and my phone even a decade ago had a nicer camera than what we used. Which was itself a phone, I believe. And don't even get me started on that fucking printer.
It's just more bullshit and unnecessary regulation, where a bunch of people are getting their cut of the money along the way.
