Everything You Need for Successful Applications

Your passport photo service includes professional photography with compliant lighting, proper background, and exact sizing that meets current government standards. We handle photos for all ages, including the special requirements for infant and toddler passport pictures that many providers struggle with.

Since Marumsco Village residents frequently travel through nearby Washington D.C. for business and international connections, we understand the urgency that often comes with passport applications. Our location serves the broader Lake Ridge community, including families who need multiple passport photos processed efficiently for group travel.

The convenience of having our US Post Office partnership means you can complete your entire passport application process in one location. We’ve seen the common mistakes that cause delays, and our service is designed to eliminate those issues before they reach government processors.

What are the current passport photo requirements for 2025?

Passport photos must be exactly 2×2 inches with your head measuring between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to crown. The photo needs to be taken within the last 6 months on a plain white or off-white background with even lighting that creates no shadows on your face. You must face the camera directly with a neutral expression, both eyes open, and mouth closed. Eyeglasses are not permitted unless you have a medical exemption with doctor documentation. The photo must be printed on matte or glossy photo paper and cannot be digitally altered in any way. These requirements ensure your photo works with biometric facial recognition systems used by government processors, which is why precision in every detail matters for approval. Even minor deviations can result in application delays.

How long does it take to get passport photos taken?

Your passport photos are completed within minutes of your arrival. The actual photography process takes just a few moments once you’re positioned correctly, and we print your photos immediately using professional equipment that ensures government compliance. Most customers are in and out within 10-15 minutes total, including the time needed to ensure proper positioning and lighting. If you need multiple family members photographed, we can handle everyone efficiently in a single visit without compromising quality. Since we understand that passport applications often come with time pressure, especially for business travel from the D.C. area, our streamlined process is designed to get you compliant photos quickly without sacrificing the precision that government processors require.

Can you take passport photos for babies and young children?

Yes, we handle passport photos for all ages, including infants and toddlers, with techniques specifically designed for young children. For babies, we can photograph them lying on a plain white sheet, which meets government requirements while keeping them comfortable and secure. Toddlers can be photographed sitting up, and we work patiently to capture the required neutral expression with eyes open. It’s acceptable for baby’s eyes to not be completely open, but older children must have their eyes clearly visible in the photo according to current regulations. We understand that traveling families often need multiple passport photos processed, and our experience with children means we can handle the special requirements efficiently while meeting the same strict government standards required for adult photos.

What should I wear for my passport photo?

Wear everyday clothing in colors that contrast with the white background – avoid white, cream, or very light-colored tops that might blend with the background. Solid colors work better than busy patterns or prints that could be distracting in the photo. You cannot wear uniforms, camouflage, or clothing that looks like a uniform. Hats and head coverings are not permitted unless worn daily for religious reasons or medical purposes, which require additional documentation with your application. Keep jewelry simple and avoid pieces that might create glare or shadows on your face. The goal is a clear, unobstructed view of your face that allows government processors to easily verify your identity through the photo.

Do you offer expedited service for urgent travel needs?

Our standard service provides immediate photo printing, so your photos are ready within minutes of being taken. Since we house a US Post Office inside our store, we can also assist with information about expedited passport processing options available through government channels. For travelers with urgent deadlines, having your compliant photos ready immediately means you can focus on the other aspects of expedited passport applications. We understand that business travel and family emergencies often create tight timelines for passport needs. Our experience serving the Lake Ridge and Marumsco Village communities means we’re familiar with the travel patterns and urgent needs that arise, especially given our proximity to Washington D.C. and the international travel that originates from this area.

How much do passport photos cost and what's included?

Our passport photo service provides you with the standard two 2×2 inch photos required for passport applications, printed on proper photo paper that meets government specifications. The service includes professional photography with compliant lighting and background setup. You receive photos that are guaranteed to meet current government requirements, eliminating the risk of application delays due to photo rejection.
