Everything You Need for Travel Documents

Our passport photo service covers all types of official photos including U.S. passports, visa applications, and government ID photos. We handle special requirements for infant and children’s photos, understanding the unique challenges parents face when photographing young children. For Limstrong residents, we’re particularly valuable because we understand the local travel patterns. Many of our customers are military families, government employees, and business travelers who need their documents processed quickly and correctly. We’ve helped thousands of local families get their passports ready for everything from European vacations to emergency travel situations. We also provide digital photo services for online passport renewals, which became available in 2024. Whether you need traditional printed photos or digital files that meet the State Department’s online requirements, we have the equipment and expertise to deliver exactly what you need for your specific situation.

What are the current passport photo requirements for 2025?

Passport photos must be 2×2 inches in size, taken within the last 6 months, and show your full face with a neutral expression. The photo must have a plain white or off-white background with no shadows on your face or behind you. Your head should measure between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. You cannot wear eyeglasses unless you have a medical exemption with a doctor’s statement. The photo must be printed on high-quality photo paper and cannot be digitally altered in any way. We stay current with all requirement changes and use professional equipment that automatically ensures compliance with these specifications. Our system is updated whenever the State Department modifies their standards, so you don’t have to worry about outdated requirements causing rejection.

How much do passport photos cost and how quickly can I get them?

Our passport photos are competitively priced and available immediately – no waiting days for processing like some services require. You’ll receive two official 2×2 inch photos printed on government-compliant photo paper, plus we can provide digital copies for an additional fee if needed. The entire process takes just a few minutes from the time you walk in. We don’t require appointments, so you can stop by whenever it’s convenient for you during business hours. This is especially helpful if you’re dealing with urgent travel situations where time is critical. Compared to chain pharmacies that often charge $16-18 for passport photos, we provide better value while maintaining the same professional quality and government compliance standards. Plus, with our Post Office on-site, you can complete your entire passport application process in one location.

Can you take passport photos for babies and young children?

Yes, we specialize in passport photos for infants and children, understanding that this can be one of the most challenging aspects of the passport application process. For babies, we know that their eyes don’t need to be completely open, and we have techniques to help keep them calm during the photo session. For toddlers and young children, we work quickly and patiently to get a compliant photo. We understand that children may need multiple attempts, and we’re experienced in working with families to get the right shot without causing stress for parents or children. The key requirements for children’s photos are the same as adults – proper size, white background, and clear facial features – but we apply special techniques for positioning and timing that work better for young subjects. We’ve helped hundreds of local families get passport photos for their children, including last-minute situations before family trips.

Do you provide digital passport photos for online renewal applications?

Yes, we provide digital passport photos that meet the State Department’s requirements for online passport renewals. The digital file must be in JPEG format, between 600×600 and 1200×1200 pixels, with a minimum file size of 54KB, and we ensure all these technical specifications are met. Online passport renewal became available recently for eligible applicants, and many people don’t realize that the digital photo requirements are different from traditional printed photos. We have the equipment and software to create compliant digital files that will be accepted by the online system. We can provide both printed photos and digital files in the same visit, so you’re covered whether you’re applying in person or online. The digital photos can be delivered via email or saved to a USB drive, depending on your preference and needs.

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

Wear normal everyday clothing in solid colors – avoid patterns, stripes, or busy designs that might interfere with the photo quality. Dark colors work well against the white background, but avoid wearing all white or very light colors that might blend with the background. Remove all accessories including eyeglasses, hats, and headbands unless worn for religious purposes. If you normally wear hearing aids, those can remain in place. Make sure your hair doesn’t cover your face or cast shadows, and avoid heavy makeup that might alter your natural appearance. Come as you normally look – the goal is accurate identification, not a glamour shot. Don’t worry about perfect styling; what matters most is that the photo clearly shows your facial features and meets the technical requirements for government acceptance. We’ll handle all the technical aspects like lighting, positioning, and background to ensure compliance.

Can I submit my passport application at your location after getting photos taken?

Yes, we have a US Post Office inside our store, which makes us a passport acceptance facility. This means you can get your passport photos taken and submit your completed application in the same visit, saving you time and ensuring everything is handled properly. Our postal staff can review your application, verify your identity documents, and process your submission according to State Department requirements. This is especially convenient for first-time passport applicants who must apply in person, as well as parents applying for children’s passports. We can also help with expedited processing if you have urgent travel needs, and we’re familiar with the current processing times and requirements. Having both services in one location eliminates the common problem of getting photos at one place and then having to find a separate acceptance facility to submit your application.
