ID Passport Photo quality camera for PC capture

I have been looking for a camera that will connect to a PC that will take quality photos for Passports, ID cards.  It needs to snap the photo from PC and import to the PC with a quality image, 1:1 ratio.  I do not want to spend $1000 for this,  the Canon Rebel can do this but again I don't want to spend that much just to get a quality  1:1 photo to a PC.  It cannot use Batteries.

Any recommendation on a camera that can work for this?

What is your definition of "quality" ?
Is it the resolution, the light sensitivity, the speed of the lens or perhaps the resolution?
Are you referring 1:1 ratio as in horizontal/vertical pixels ?
What format do you want the pics.  to be exported in ?

I need a camera that will connect to a PC and take pictures from the software on the PC.  Also, set to default on the camera  3x3 size pictures.
Any digital point and shoot camera will do, most cameras connect to a PC either via USB or through a sim card.
I'm not sure about your comment here>and take pictures from the software on the PC<< do you mean take a photo using the digital camera of the desktop screen?
Capture the desktop is simple use the snipping tool or  add your photo editor
If you have a laptop it may have an inbuilt web cam that can take a headshot

I think this guide may help you better
then you can see the steps involved this will then help point you in the right direction.
