Official Passport Photo Requirements

Complete Compliance, Every Detail Covered

Every passport photo must meet strict federal requirements. Head size between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to crown, neutral expression, eyes open and looking directly at camera, plain white background with no shadows or patterns.

We handle the technical details you might miss. Proper lighting prevents shadows on face or neck. Correct camera distance ensures your head fills the right percentage of the frame. Professional paper quality meets government standards.

Special requirements for infants and children are no problem. We know babies can have slightly closed eyes, and we’re experienced in getting the cooperation needed for compliant children’s photos. Parents often struggle with these requirements, but our team makes it straightforward.

What are the current passport photo requirements for 2025?

Passport photos must be 2×2 inches printed on high-quality paper with your head measuring 1 to 1⅜ inches from bottom of chin to top of head. The background must be plain white or off-white with no shadows, patterns, or other people visible. Your face should be directly facing the camera with a neutral expression, both eyes open, and mouth closed. No eyeglasses are permitted as of 2016, and head coverings are only allowed for religious or medical reasons with proper documentation. The photo must be taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper.

How much do passport photos cost at School & Office Annex?

Our passport photo pricing is competitive with local providers and often less expensive than chain stores like CVS ($17.99) or Walgreens ($16.99). We provide two regulation 2×2 inch prints as required for passport applications. Digital copies are available for an additional fee if you need them for online applications or future use. Unlike many chain stores, we don’t require appointments and can serve you immediately during business hours. The cost includes professional photography with proper equipment, expert positioning guidance, and immediate printing on government-compliant paper. You get the quality and service of a professional studio at affordable prices.

Can you take passport photos for babies and children?

Yes, we specialize in infant and child passport photos and understand the unique challenges involved. For babies, we know that slightly closed eyes are acceptable, and we have techniques to help keep them calm and positioned correctly. Children must have their eyes open and mouth closed with a neutral expression, looking directly at the camera. We’re experienced in working with kids to get their cooperation without stress for parents. We ensure no toys, pacifiers, or other objects are visible in the frame, and that children are properly positioned without tilting their heads. Parents cannot hold babies during the photo, but we guide you through safe positioning techniques.

What happens if my passport photo gets rejected?

If the State Department rejects your passport photo, you’ll receive a letter explaining the specific problems and have 90 days to submit a corrected photo without paying additional application fees. Missing this deadline means starting over with full fees. Common rejection reasons include incorrect sizing, poor lighting, shadows on face, wrong background, inappropriate facial expression, or technical quality issues. Our professional equipment and expertise help avoid these problems from the start. When you get your photos from us, we ensure they meet all current requirements to prevent rejections. If there’s ever an issue with photos we’ve taken, we’ll work with you to resolve it quickly.

Do you offer same-day passport photo service?

Yes, we provide immediate passport photo service with no appointment necessary. Your photos are taken and printed while you wait, typically ready within minutes of your arrival. We keep all necessary equipment and supplies on hand, including professional cameras, proper lighting, white backgrounds, and high-quality photo paper. No waiting days for processing or pickup like some services require. This is especially helpful when you have urgent travel plans or discover you need new photos close to your passport application deadline. Walk in during business hours and leave with compliant photos ready for submission.

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 blend with the background, and skip busy patterns or logos that might be distracting. No uniforms are allowed, including military, law enforcement, airline, or work uniforms. Business casual or everyday attire works best. Avoid large jewelry that might cast shadows or cover your neckline. Keep your hair away from your face and eyes. If you normally wear glasses, remove them since they’re not permitted in passport photos. We’ll guide you on positioning and help ensure your clothing and appearance meet all requirements.
