Buckland Passport Photo Requirements

What You Get With Every Service

Every passport photo service includes two professional-quality 2×2 inch prints on government-approved photo paper. We ensure proper head positioning between 1 to 1⅜ inches from chin to crown, neutral facial expression with eyes open, and uniform lighting with no shadows.

For Buckland residents, we’re conveniently located in nearby Lake Ridge with easy access from Route 1 and I-95. Our central location serves families throughout Prince William County who need reliable passport services without the drive to DC.

We handle special requirements too – from infant photos (where closed eyes are acceptable) to medical exemptions for eyeglasses. Our experienced staff knows how to work with children and can accommodate unique situations that larger chains often struggle with.

How much do passport photos cost in Buckland, VA?

Our passport photo service provides two government-compliant 2×2 inch photos at competitive Northern Virginia pricing. The cost includes professional photography, proper positioning, and immediate printing on high-quality photo paper. We’re typically more affordable than DC-area services while offering the same professional quality. Digital copies are available for a small additional fee if you need them for online passport renewals or future applications. Contact us directly for current pricing, as we occasionally offer promotions for local residents and can accommodate bulk orders for families applying together.

Do I need an appointment for passport photos in Buckland?

No appointment necessary – we accept walk-ins during all business hours. Most passport photos are completed within minutes of your arrival, making it convenient for busy schedules. However, if you’re bringing infants or have special requirements (like medical exemptions for eyeglasses), calling ahead can help us prepare and ensure we have adequate time to get the perfect shot. During peak travel seasons (summer and holidays), arriving earlier in the day can help avoid any potential wait times, though our efficient process keeps delays minimal.

What are the current passport photo requirements for 2024?

Current requirements include 2×2 inch photos taken within the last 6 months, plain white or off-white background, and neutral facial expression with both eyes open and mouth closed. Head size must be between 1 to 1⅜ inches from chin to crown. No eyeglasses are allowed unless you have a medical exemption with a doctor’s note. No uniforms, camouflage, or head coverings except for religious or medical reasons with proper documentation. Photos must be printed on matte or glossy photo paper – no digital prints or photocopies accepted. We stay current with all State Department changes to ensure your photos meet the latest standards.

Can you take passport photos for infants and children?

Yes, we specialize in infant and child passport photos. For babies, we use proper positioning techniques and understand that closed or partially closed eyes are acceptable for infants under one year. Children over one year must have their eyes open and follow the same requirements as adults. We’re patient with young children and experienced in getting cooperation for the neutral expression required. Parents can assist with positioning, and we work quickly to minimize stress for both children and parents. Our staff understands the challenges of photographing children and has techniques to help ensure successful photos on the first attempt.

How long do passport photos take to process?

Your passport photos are ready immediately – typically within 2-3 minutes of taking the photo. We print on-site using professional photo equipment, so there’s no waiting for processing or return visits. This same-day service is crucial for travelers with tight deadlines or last-minute passport applications. You can complete your passport photo requirement and handle other errands in the same trip. If you need multiple sets or have special requests like digital copies, the process may take a few additional minutes, but you’ll still leave with everything you need in a single visit.

What should I wear for my passport photo?

Wear everyday clothing in colors that contrast with the white background – avoid white or very light colors that might blend in. Business casual or regular street clothes work well. No uniforms, camouflage patterns, or clothing that looks like a uniform are allowed. Avoid busy patterns or logos that might be distracting. Simple, solid colors photograph best and help ensure your face is the focus. Remove hats, headbands, or hair accessories unless worn for religious or medical reasons. Jewelry is fine as long as it doesn’t create glare or shadows on your face. Our staff can provide guidance on clothing choices if you have questions.
