Common questions about Passport Photos

What happens if my passport photo gets rejected by the State Department?

If your passport photo is rejected, you have 90 days to submit a new compliant photograph without paying additional fees. However, our professional service ensures your photos meet all requirements the first time. We’ve been taking passport photos since 1990 and understand exactly what the State Department requires. Our professional equipment, proper lighting, and experienced staff eliminate the common mistakes that cause rejections like poor image quality, wrong background, or incorrect head positioning.

Can you take passport photos for babies and young children?

Yes, we specialize in passport photos for all ages, including infants and young children. When taking photos of babies or toddlers, no other person should be in the photo, and your child should be looking at the camera with eyes open. Our experienced staff knows how to work with children to get compliant photos quickly. We understand the challenges of photographing young children and have techniques to ensure we capture the required neutral expression and proper positioning while keeping the process stress-free for families.

How long does it take to get my passport photos?

Passport photos are processed and ready within minutes, so you can continue with your passport application immediately. Our same-day service means you don’t have to make multiple trips or wait for photos to be mailed. We print your photos on-site using professional equipment, and you’ll leave with government-compliant photos ready for your passport application. This is especially convenient since we have a U.S. Post Office right inside our store, allowing you to complete your entire passport process in one location.

What should I wear and bring for my passport photo?

Avoid wearing distracting patterns, uniforms, clothing that resembles a uniform, or camouflage – wear everyday clothing. Remove hats or head coverings unless worn for religious or medical purposes, and your full face must be visible without shadows. We recommend wearing a color other than white since your photo will have a plain white background. Remove headphones and wireless hands-free devices. Just bring yourself and a form of payment – we’ll handle all the technical requirements to ensure your photos are compliant.

Do you accept walk-ins or do I need an appointment?

We accept walk-ins for passport photos – no appointment necessary. Our experienced staff can typically complete your passport photos within a few minutes of your arrival. Since we’re a local business that’s been serving the Lake Ridge community since 1990, we understand the importance of convenience and quick service. We’re open during regular business hours, and our location includes ample parking. Having the U.S. Post Office inside our store means you can get your photos and submit your passport application all in one convenient visit.

How much do passport photos cost at your location?

Our passport photo pricing is competitive with other professional services in Prince William County, and we provide exceptional value through our experience and convenience. Unlike chain stores where you might face long waits or inexperienced staff, we offer personalized service from professionals who understand passport requirements. The cost includes two regulation-size photos printed on high-quality photo paper that meets all government specifications.
