Complete Passport Photo Requirements

Current Requirements Made Simple

Current passport photos must be taken within the last six months and show your natural appearance. You’ll need to remove glasses, maintain a neutral expression with both eyes open, and face the camera directly.

For Kings Crossroads families, we specialize in infant and child passport photos using gentle techniques that work with young children’s attention spans. Baby photos can be taken with eyes closed if needed, while older children must have eyes open.

We stay current with all State Department requirements, including the 2016 eyeglasses ban and specific background, lighting, and sizing standards. Our local expertise means you get accurate, up-to-date service that larger chains sometimes miss.

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

Our passport photo service is competitively priced below the $16.99 that CVS and Walgreens charge locally. You’ll receive two regulation 2×2 inch photos printed on professional photo paper that meets all government durability requirements. We include basic service in our price – proper positioning, compliant lighting, and immediate printing. Digital copies are available for an additional small fee if you need them for online passport renewal applications. Unlike some locations that require appointments or have limited hours, we’re available during regular business hours for walk-in service when you need it.
Yes, we specialize in infant and child passport photos using techniques that work with young children’s needs. For babies under 12 months, we can photograph them lying on a white sheet, and their eyes don’t need to be completely open. For toddlers and older children, we use patient, gentle approaches to get the required neutral expression with both eyes open. Our experience with educational settings gives us an advantage in working with children of all ages. We understand that children can be unpredictable, so we’re prepared to take multiple shots if needed to get the perfect compliant photo. Parents can be present to help keep children calm and cooperative.
Our passport photos meet all current U.S. State Department specifications for size, background, lighting, and image quality. We use professional equipment calibrated to ensure 2×2 inch dimensions with proper head sizing between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to crown. We stay updated on all requirement changes, including the 2016 eyeglasses ban and current background standards. Our photos are printed on regulation photo paper with the proper finish and durability. While we can’t control factors like significant appearance changes since your last passport, we guarantee our photos meet all technical specifications that are within our control. If there’s ever an issue with photo compliance due to our processing, we’ll retake them at no charge.
Most passport photos are completed within 10-15 minutes from start to finish. We take the photo, verify it meets all requirements, and print your two regulation photos immediately using our professional printing equipment. No appointment is necessary – just walk in during business hours. If we’re busy with other customers, you might wait a few extra minutes, but the actual photo process is always quick. For families with multiple people needing photos, we can handle everyone efficiently in one visit. Children might take slightly longer to ensure we get the proper expression and positioning, but we work at their pace.
Wear normal everyday clothing in colors that contrast with white – avoid white or very light colors that might blend with the background. You cannot wear uniforms, camouflage patterns, or clothing that looks like a uniform. Remove all glasses, even if you wear them daily for medical reasons. Hats and head coverings are prohibited unless worn for religious reasons, and even then they cannot cast shadows on your face or obscure facial features. Keep jewelry simple and avoid anything that might cause glare or shadows. Your expression should be neutral with mouth closed and both eyes open, looking directly at the camera. We’ll guide you through proper positioning when you arrive.
Yes, we can provide digital copies of your passport photos in the JPEG format required for online passport renewals and applications. The digital files will be properly sized and formatted to meet State Department upload requirements. Digital copies are especially useful if you’re renewing online or need to submit photos for visa applications to different countries. We can email them to you or provide them on a USB drive depending on your preference. The digital versions maintain the same quality and compliance standards as the printed photos. If you’re unsure whether you’ll need digital copies, we recommend getting them at the time of service since they’re much more convenient than trying to scan printed photos later.
