Passport Photos

All photos must meet the U.S. Passport Agency Photo Requirements (travel.state.gov). Please note some requirements are:

  • Photo Size 2"x2" with a head size 1" to 1 3/8".
  • No glare on glasses. Eyes must be visible with no dark shadows. You can smile, but do not close your eyes.
  • White / Off-White background with no shadows or objects in the background of the photo or distorted facial colors. Any faded facial coloring (over-exposures) may cause the scanned picture to be distorted.
  • No uniforms.
  • No headbands.
  • No bangs below the eyebrows that may obscure the eyes.

CAUTION: Not all photo establishments (especially pharmacies) adhere to U.S. Passport Regulations and any photo that does not meet the U.S. Passport requirements may be rejected.
