Complete Passport Photo Requirements

Everything You Need to Know

We handle all types of official photos. U.S. passport photos, visa photos for international travel, and ID photos for various purposes. Each has specific requirements, and we know them all.

Bradley Forest residents often need photos for business travel to Europe and Asia, family vacations, and student exchange programs. We’ve processed photos for visas to over fifty countries, each with slightly different specifications.

We also provide photos for infants and children, which require special techniques to ensure compliance while keeping your little one comfortable during the process.

What are the current requirements for U.S. passport photos?

U.S. passport photos must be 2×2 inches, taken within the last six months, and show your full face looking directly at the camera. The background must be white or off-white with no shadows. Your expression should be neutral with both eyes open and mouth closed. You can wear everyday glasses unless they create glare or shadows, but sunglasses aren’t allowed. Head coverings are only permitted for religious purposes. The photo must be printed on photo-quality paper and cannot be digitally altered beyond basic adjustments for lighting and contrast. We ensure every photo meets these exact specifications before you leave.

How much do passport photos cost and how many do I get?

Our passport photo service provides two official photos for your application at a competitive local rate. Most passport applications require two identical photos, so you’ll have exactly what you need. If you’re applying for multiple documents or want extra photos for future use, we can print additional copies at a reduced rate. Many families find it helpful to have extras on hand for school forms or other identification needs. The price includes retaking the photo if needed to ensure it meets requirements. We don’t charge extra if we need to adjust lighting or positioning to get the perfect shot.

Can you take passport photos for babies and young children?

Yes, we specialize in passport photos for infants and children of all ages. We understand that getting a compliant photo of a baby or toddler requires patience and the right approach. For infants, we can photograph them lying on a white sheet, which is acceptable for passport applications. For older children, we work quickly to capture a proper photo while they’re cooperative and comfortable. We keep the session short and stress-free. If your child isn’t cooperating on the first try, we’re happy to take a break and try again. The goal is getting a compliant photo without making it a difficult experience for your family.

Do you provide visa photos for international travel?

Absolutely. We provide visa photos for countries around the world, each with specific requirements that differ from U.S. passport photos. Some countries require different sizes, specific background colors, or particular poses. We maintain current requirements for the most commonly requested countries including those in Europe, Asia, and South America. If you’re traveling somewhere less common, bring your visa requirements and we’ll match them exactly. Many countries are moving toward biometric photos with stricter guidelines. We stay updated on these changes to ensure your visa application isn’t delayed due to photo issues.

How long does it take to get my passport photos?

Your passport photos are ready in about ten minutes. We take the photo, review it for compliance, and print it immediately while you wait. If we need to retake the photo for any reason, that adds just a few minutes to the process. We’d rather take the extra time upfront than have you discover problems when you submit your application. You can come in without an appointment during our regular business hours. We recommend calling ahead if you’re coming with a large family or group to ensure we can accommodate everyone efficiently.

What should I wear and how should I prepare for my passport photo?

Wear normal, everyday clothing in colors that contrast with the white background. Avoid white or very light-colored tops that might blend with the background. Dark colors like navy, black, or burgundy work well. Don’t wear uniforms, camouflage, or clothing that looks like a uniform unless you’re military personnel in civilian clothes. Avoid busy patterns or logos that might be distracting in the photo. Make sure your hair doesn’t cover your eyes or face. If you normally wear glasses, you can keep them on unless they create glare or shadows. Come as you normally look – this photo will represent you for up to ten years.
