The official requirements

US passport photos must meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of State. They are strict, and the Department states that an unacceptable photo is the most common reason an application is put on hold. Our AI checks every requirement before you pay.

Photo size

2 x 2 in

51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 inches), one print, with your head between 25 mm and 35 mm from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

Background

Plain white or off-white

A plain white or off-white background with no shadows, texture or objects behind you.

Face position

Straight on, neutral expression

Face the camera directly without tilting your head, with a neutral expression, both eyes open and visible, and your mouth closed. Do not wear a uniform or anything resembling one, camouflage, headphones or a face mask.
