What are the current passport photo requirements for 2024?

Current passport photos must be 2×2 inches with your head measuring between 1 and 1⅜ inches from chin to the top of your head. The photo must be taken within the last 6 months on white or off-white background. You need a neutral facial expression with both eyes open and mouth closed. No eyeglasses are permitted unless required for medical reasons with a doctor’s note. The photo must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper – no home printing or photocopies accepted. Military personnel cannot wear uniforms, clothing that looks like uniforms, or camouflage. We ensure every photo meets these specifications before printing.
Yes, we specialize in infant and child passport photos. For babies, we can position them on a plain white sheet and photograph from above. It’s acceptable if a baby’s eyes aren’t completely open, but all other children must have their eyes open. We take extra time with young children to ensure they’re looking at the camera with a neutral expression. Parents can help position the child, but only the child can appear in the photo. We understand that traveling with children requires patience, and we work quickly to get compliant photos without stress for parents or children.
Our passport photos are competitively priced and often cost less than big box stores or chain locations. We provide two identical 2×2 inch photos as required for passport applications. Photos are ready within minutes of taking them. We print immediately using professional photo equipment and government-approved photo paper. No waiting days or coming back later. Since we have a US Post Office inside our store, you can complete your entire passport application process in one convenient visit.
No appointment is necessary. We offer walk-in service during regular business hours. This is especially convenient for military families who often have unpredictable schedules or sudden travel requirements. We keep our photo equipment calibrated and ready throughout the day. Most passport photos are completed in under 10 minutes from start to finish. If you’re coming with multiple family members, we recommend calling ahead so we can be prepared, but appointments aren’t required.
Wear normal street clothes in solid colors that contrast with the white background. Avoid white or very light colors that might blend with the background. Dark colors like navy, black, or dark gray work well. Military personnel cannot wear uniforms, clothing that looks like uniforms, or camouflage patterns. No hats or head coverings unless worn daily for religious reasons, and even then, your full face must be visible. Remove eyeglasses, jewelry that might cause glare, and avoid busy patterns or logos. We’ll guide you on positioning and clothing choices to ensure compliance.
