Taking out ID and passport photos

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Photography is prohibited in Islam. But we have to bring photographs for passports and to submit forms, what to do?

Bismillaah

A: Just as this is a requirement on an id document without which you cannot process your work. I suggest that you make istighfaar and taubah.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
