Passport Photo Requirements

What's Included With Every Photo

Every passport photo service includes two identical 2×2 inch prints on high-quality photo paper. Your photos meet all current U.S. Department of State requirements: neutral facial expression, both eyes open, plain white background, and proper head positioning.

We ensure your photos comply with the latest regulations, including the no-glasses policy unless you have a medical exemption with doctor’s documentation. For Independent Hill families planning international travel, we also provide visa photos and ID photos for various countries and purposes.

What do I need to bring for passport photos?

You don’t need to bring anything special for passport photos. Just come as you normally would, wearing regular clothing without uniforms, camouflage, or white shirts that might blend with the background. Remove glasses, hats, and headphones before your photo. If you wear glasses for medical reasons, bring a signed note from your doctor. Religious head coverings are allowed as long as your face remains fully visible and no shadows are cast.

How much do passport photos cost at your location?

Our passport photo service provides two official 2×2 inch photos printed on government-approved photo paper. Contact us directly for current pricing, as we strive to offer competitive rates for Independent Hill families. The cost includes professional photography, immediate review of your photos, and printing on the proper paper stock that meets government requirements. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you’ll know the exact cost before we take your photo.

Can you take passport photos for babies and children?

Yes, we regularly take passport photos for infants and children of all ages. We understand the unique challenges of photographing babies and have techniques to help get compliant photos even with squirmy toddlers. For infants, it’s acceptable if their eyes aren’t fully open, but older children must have their eyes open. We work patiently with families to ensure we capture a photo that meets government standards while keeping the experience stress-free for both parents and children.

How quickly can I get my passport photos?

Your passport photos are ready immediately—typically within 5-10 minutes of taking the photo. We print your two official photos on-site using professional photo equipment and government-approved paper. You can review the photos before we print them to ensure you’re satisfied with the results. This immediate turnaround means you can get your photos and submit your passport application the same day, avoiding any delays in your travel planning.

Do your photos meet current government requirements?

Absolutely. We stay updated on all current U.S. Department of State passport photo requirements and ensure every photo meets official standards. This includes proper sizing (2×2 inches), correct head positioning, neutral expression, and appropriate background color. Our equipment is calibrated to produce photos that pass government inspection. We follow the latest guidelines regarding lighting, image quality, and technical specifications. If your photo is rejected by the government for compliance issues, we’ll retake it at no charge.

What's different about passport photos versus regular photos?

Passport photos must meet strict government specifications that regular photos don’t require. The sizing must be exactly 2×2 inches with your head measuring between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to crown. The background must be plain white or off-white with no shadows. Your facial expression must be completely neutral—no smiling, frowning, or mouth open. Both eyes must be clearly visible and open, looking directly at the camera. The photo must be recent (taken within 6 months) and printed on specific photo paper that meets durability standards for official documents.
