Is there a way to download biometric picture?

I was very impressed by the equipment and photo processing done for the biometric passports at a Russian consulate (they take your photo right at the consulate, in a special room with a special setup).

The resulting photo is supposed to be stored within the chip of the passport itself. Is there a way to get to it? Or is there perhaps a way to get it from some central passport-application web-site of some sort, or any other source?

I would like to potentially acquire a copy of the photo to use for visa applications, for example.

I think you're trying to solve a non-existing problem as the old joke goes: "????? ????".

The simplest way to get at the information on the chip is by using an app for your NFC capable Android phone. But if you really want to have a picture in electronic format just take a picture and use Photoshop to enhance it. It will be much simpler then pulling it from your passport.

Besides most countries want a recent photo when applying for visas for which you can again use your Android phone
