Aden Passport Photo Requirements

What's Included With Every Service

You get two official 2×2 inch passport photos printed on professional photo paper. Each photo meets the head size requirements—between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown.

The photos are taken with proper lighting to avoid the shadows and glare that cause thousands of applications to get delayed every year. Plain white background, neutral facial expression, eyes open and clearly visible.

For Aden residents, this means no driving to multiple locations or dealing with chain stores that might not understand the specific requirements. Everything is handled locally by people who know what works and what doesn’t.

What are the current U.S. passport photo requirements for 2025?

U.S. passport photos must be 2×2 inches with your head measuring between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. The photo needs to be in color, taken within the last 6 months, with a plain white or off-white background. Your expression should be neutral with both eyes open and mouth closed. No eyeglasses are allowed except in rare medical circumstances with a doctor’s statement. The photo must be printed on high-quality matte or glossy photo paper. We ensure every photo meets these specifications to prevent the delays that affect over 200,000 applications yearly due to photo compliance issues.
Yes, we take passport photos for all ages, including infants and children. For babies, it’s acceptable if their eyes aren’t completely open, but children older than infants must have their eyes open and visible. We’re experienced with the challenges of photographing young children and know how to work quickly while ensuring the photo meets government standards. The same size and background requirements apply regardless of age. Parents often appreciate our patient approach and the fact that we can usually get a compliant photo even with fussy or uncooperative children.
Your passport photos are ready immediately. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes—we take the photo, check it for compliance, and print your two official copies on the spot. No waiting days or weeks like you might experience with mail-order services. No appointments necessary—just walk in when it’s convenient for you. This immediate turnaround is especially valuable when you have urgent travel needs or discover at the last minute that your current passport photos don’t meet requirements.
If the U.S. Department of State rejects your passport photo, you’ll receive a formal notification explaining the specific reasons. You have 90 days to submit a corrected photo without additional government fees. Common rejection reasons include incorrect size, poor lighting, shadows on face or background, wrong background color, or photos that are blurry or printed on poor quality paper. Even small mistakes can cause significant delays. That’s why we focus on getting it right the first time. Our photos are designed to meet all current requirements and avoid the common issues that cause rejections.
We provide printed passport photos as required for most passport applications. The standard service includes two 2×2 inch prints on professional photo paper that meet government specifications. Digital copies may be available upon request for specific needs, though most passport applications require physical printed photos. We can discuss your specific requirements when you visit. Our focus is on providing exactly what your passport application needs in the format that government agencies accept and process efficiently.
Local service means personalized attention and expertise with government requirements. We’ve been serving Northern Virginia families since 1990 and understand both the technical requirements and the local needs. Chain stores often have staff who aren’t familiar with current passport photo specifications or don’t take the time to ensure compliance. We specialize in getting it right because we know how costly delays can be for your travel plans. You also get immediate service without the scheduling hassles or long wait times that larger operations often require. Plus, you’re supporting a local business that’s invested in the community.
