Government Compliant Photos Combat Village

What You Get With Every Service

Every passport photo service includes two identical 2×2 inch prints on official photo paper, properly sized with your head measuring between 1 inch and 1⅜ inches from chin to crown. Photos are taken against a regulation white background with professional lighting that eliminates shadows and glare.

We ensure compliance with all current State Department requirements: neutral facial expression, both eyes clearly visible and open, mouth closed, and direct camera gaze. No eyeglasses unless medically required with proper documentation. Hair must not obstruct your face or hairline.

For Combat Village residents, this means no more guessing whether your photos will pass inspection. Northern Virginia’s proximity to Washington D.C. means many of our neighbors work in government or travel internationally for business—they can’t afford delays from rejected photos. Our local expertise ensures you get it right the first time.

What are the current passport photo requirements for 2024?

Current passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches 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. You need a neutral facial expression with both eyes open, mouth closed, and looking directly at the camera. No smiling, frowning, or tilted head positions. Your face should be centered and take up 50-69% of the photo’s total height. Photos must be taken within six months of your application and printed on high-quality matte or glossy photo paper. No digital alterations, filters, or enhancements are permitted—the photo must represent your natural appearance.

Can I wear glasses in my passport photo?

Eyeglasses are generally not allowed in U.S. passport photos as of November 2016. This rule applies to all prescription glasses, reading glasses, and sunglasses, regardless of lens type or frame style. The only exception is for medical reasons where you cannot remove your glasses. In this case, you must provide a signed statement from your doctor explaining the medical necessity. Even with medical documentation, your eyes must be clearly visible with no glare or reflection on the lenses. If you normally wear glasses but can safely remove them for the photo, that’s the best approach. The goal is clear visibility of your eyes for biometric identification purposes.

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

Our passport photo service provides two regulation 2×2 inch prints at competitive pricing that beats most chain competitors in the Combat Village area. Photos are available immediately—no waiting for processing or return visits required. The entire process typically takes just a few minutes from start to finish. You’ll walk out with properly sized, government-compliant photos ready for your passport application. We keep our pricing fair because we understand families often need multiple passport photos at once. Unlike some locations that require appointments or have limited hours, we accommodate walk-ins during regular business hours. This convenience matters when you’re dealing with tight travel deadlines or unexpected passport renewal needs.

Do you take passport photos for babies and young children?

Yes, we have extensive experience photographing infants and young children for passport photos. We understand the unique challenges of getting compliant photos for little ones who don’t sit still or follow directions. For babies, we work with parents to position the child safely while meeting all requirements. Infants are allowed to have slightly closed eyes, but older children must have both eyes clearly open. We’re patient and will take multiple attempts if needed to get the right shot. Parents often worry about their child’s expression or cooperation, but we’ve handled thousands of family passport applications over the years. We know how to work quickly and efficiently while keeping both parents and children comfortable during the process.

What happens if my passport photo gets rejected?

If the State Department rejects your passport photo, you’ll receive an official letter explaining the specific problem and have 90 days to submit a new compliant photo. During this window, there are no additional fees for photo resubmission. However, missing that 90-day deadline means starting your entire passport application over and paying all fees again. This is why getting compliant photos from the start is so important—it saves time, money, and travel delays. Our professional service significantly reduces rejection risk because we stay current with all requirements and use proper equipment. If you’ve had photos rejected elsewhere, bring the rejection letter and we’ll ensure your new photos address the specific issues mentioned.

Why choose a local service over chain stores for passport photos?

Local expertise matters when government requirements change frequently and rejection rates are high. We’ve been serving Combat Village and surrounding areas since 1990, building relationships with families who trust us for important documents. Chain stores often have undertrained staff who may not stay current with regulation updates or understand the specific challenges Northern Virginia residents face with travel documentation. We take the time to ensure every photo meets requirements rather than rushing through high-volume processing. You also get the convenience of our other services—if you need passport photos, you might also need office supplies, printing services, or mailing supplies for your application. Our one-stop approach saves you multiple trips around town when you’re preparing for travel.
