Your photos are printed and ready within minutes of being taken. We don’t send photos out for processing—everything happens on-site with professional equipment. Most customers complete the entire process in under 15 minutes from walking in to leaving with finished photos. This includes positioning, photographing, reviewing for compliance, and printing. If you’re also handling passport application paperwork, our on-site Post Office can process that immediately after photos are ready. True one-stop service that saves you time and extra trips.
Wear normal everyday clothing in solid colors. Avoid uniforms, camouflage patterns, or clothing that looks like uniforms. White or very light colors might blend with the background, so darker solid colors work best. Remove all eyeglasses—they’re no longer permitted in passport photos as of 2016. If you wear glasses for medical reasons, you’ll need a doctor’s note with your application. Keep jewelry simple and avoid large earrings or necklaces that might distract from your face. Hair should be neat and away from your face so all features are clearly visible.
