Passport Photo Process

Simple Steps to Compliant Photos

Getting passport photos here is straightforward. You come in, we take your photo using professional equipment that ensures proper lighting and background, and you leave with government-compliant prints.

Your photos will be exactly 2 x 2 inches with your face measuring between 1 to 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. We handle the technical measurements and positioning so you don’t have to worry about compliance details.

For infants and young children, we know the special requirements. Babies can be photographed lying on a white sheet, and while infant eyes don’t need to be entirely open, all other children must have their eyes open. We’ve photographed hundreds of children over the years and know how to work with them to get compliant photos quickly.

Most photos are ready immediately, so you can complete your passport application the same day.

What are the current passport photo requirements for 2025?

Each U.S. passport photo must be in color and taken within the last 6 months. The photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches with a white or off-white background. Your face must measure between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head, ensuring facial features are clearly visible and properly proportioned. Eyeglasses are no longer allowed except in rare medical circumstances with a doctor’s statement. You need a neutral facial expression—not too serious but not a wide grin, capturing your everyday appearance for accurate identification. We ensure all these technical requirements are met so your application moves forward without delays.
Major chains like CVS and Walgreens charge $16.99 for two passport photos, while UPS stores charge $11.99 and FedEx charges $14.95. Our competitive pricing gives you professional quality without the premium chain store markup. More importantly, you save time and gas money by not driving to Fairfax or Reston. When you factor in the 40-minute round trip and current gas prices, getting your photos locally makes financial sense. About 30% of passport applications experience delays due to photo issues, so investing in professional service that gets it right the first time actually saves money compared to having to retake rejected photos.
Yes, we specialize in passport photos for infants and children of all ages. Newborns and infants may have their eyes partially open or closed and can open their mouths, but pacifiers and objects that obscure the face aren’t permitted. For babies, we can photograph them lying on a plain white sheet, making sure there are no shadows on their face. Only the child can be present in the photo—no parents’ hands visible—and they must face the camera directly. Children old enough to follow directions need to follow standard adult rules with neutral expression and both eyes open. We’ve photographed hundreds of children over the years and know how to work patiently to get compliant photos quickly, usually on the first attempt.
Most passport photos are ready immediately after we take them. The actual photo session takes just a few minutes, and we print your photos while you wait. Professional photo services typically provide printed photos immediately after your photo is taken. This means you can complete your passport application the same day rather than making multiple trips. If you’re working with tight travel deadlines, same-day service eliminates the stress of waiting for photos to be processed. Most countries require your passport to be valid at least 6 months past your travel dates, and many airlines won’t let you board if this requirement isn’t met, so getting your photos done quickly helps you stay ahead of these deadlines.
A non-compliant photo can result in delays or rejections of your passport application. That’s why we use professional equipment and follow current government standards exactly. Our photo system automatically verifies that photos meet all government requirements, and photos come with a verification certificate ensuring they meet government standards. This technology updates as criteria change, so you’re always getting photos that comply with the latest requirements. Poor-quality photos or those not meeting requirements lead to rejection and additional costs for retakes. Our professional approach minimizes this risk, but if there’s ever an issue with photos we’ve taken, we’ll work with you to resolve it quickly.
Yes, we provide photos for U.S. passports, visa applications, and various ID documents. Most embassies require 2 x 2 inch photos with the head measuring between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. Different countries may have specific visa photo guidelines, and passport and visa photos can often be identical. We stay current on requirements for common visa applications and can advise you on specific needs for your destination country. Whether you need photos for work visas, tourist visas, green card applications, or other official documents, we ensure your photos meet the specific requirements for your application type. We confirm the guidelines for your specific destination before finalizing your photos.
