A typical adult life in Japan needs more ID photos than expected: My Number Card renewal, passport application, job-hunting resume, overseas visa, driver's license renewal, exam applications. Each format is slightly different — reshooting each time costs both money and time.
With mynaphoto.jp, one purchase covers all 19 supported formats — no need to reshoot for each document.
| Category | Documents |
|---|---|
| Government / official | My Number Card (online + postal), passport (online + counter), driver's license renewal |
| Job hunting | Resume (paper + web), Rikunabi OpenES |
| Visas | US, China, India, Russia, Brazil, Cambodia |
| Exams | Real estate transaction (宅建), architect, real estate appraiser, administrative scrivener, construction management, electrician |
Different sizes and background colors per document — all handled automatically.
The same purchased photo covers both the online My Number Card application and, later, a passport application. One purchase for both.
Paper resume (40×30mm), web resume (560×420px), OpenES (600×450px) — all from the same source. Applying to multiple companies with different photo requirements? No additional purchase.
Passport and destination-country visa often have different specifications. One purchase covers the visa photos for all supported countries.
Your My Number renewal plus your child's first driver's license photo — each family member's single purchase covers all document needs.
When shooting, you don't need to think about per-document differences:
