Professional passport photo services that meet strict government standards, ready in minutes with no appointment needed.
Hear from Our Customers
You need passport photos that work. Not photos that get your application sent back because they’re the wrong size, too blurry, or don’t meet the latest government requirements.
Normal passport processing already takes 6-9 weeks – and that gets extended if your photos don’t meet requirements. Why risk the delay when you can get it right the first time?
Our professional photo equipment ensures your photos are exactly 2×2 inches with proper head sizing between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. We know the rules because we’ve been doing this for decades, and we make sure your photos pass inspection.
School & Office Annex has served the Lake Ridge and Northern Virginia community since 1990. We’re not some chain store that treats you like a number – we’re your local neighbors who understand what Catharpin families need.
With a 4.5-star rating from over 32 customer reviews, we’ve built our reputation on getting things done right. We even have a US Post Office inside our store, so you can handle your entire passport application process in one convenient location.
The difference is simple: we care about your travel plans succeeding, not just taking your money.
No appointments, no waiting weeks for results. Just come in when it’s convenient for you.
We’ll position you correctly and use professional equipment to capture a clear image of your face that meets all current government standards. We’ll make sure your eyes are open and your mouth is closed, with the right neutral expression that passport officials expect.
Your photos are printed immediately on proper photo paper. You’ll get two regulation 2×2 inch prints, ready to attach to your passport application. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and you can handle other errands like copying, faxing, or mailing while you’re here.
Ready to get started?
The government doesn’t mess around with passport photo requirements, and neither do we. Your photos must be taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance.
Eyeglasses are no longer allowed in passport photos except in rare medical circumstances that require a doctor’s statement. You can’t wear uniforms, and head coverings are only permitted for daily religious purposes.
For Catharpin residents, this matters because your local Post Office doesn’t process passport applications. You’ll likely need to travel to Fairfax or another acceptance facility, so having compliant photos from the start saves you multiple trips and weeks of delays.
