Requirements for Passport Photos

When it comes to passport photos, it is crucial to follow the specific requirements set by government agencies to ensure that your application is not rejected. At Staples Passport Photo Services, we are well-versed in these requirements and will ensure that your photos meet all necessary criteria. Here is an overview of the typical requirements for passport photos:

• Size: Passport photos must be 2×2 inches (51x51mm) in size. The image of your face should be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25-35mm) from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.
• Background: The background of your passport photo should be plain white or off-white. It should be free of any patterns, shadows, or glare.
• Expression: You must have a neutral facial expression with both eyes open and looking directly at the camera. Avoid smiling, frowning, or tilting your head. Keep your mouth closed and ensure that your entire face is visible.
• Attire: Wear normal everyday clothing in your passport photo. Avoid uniforms, hats, or head coverings that obscure your hairline or cast shadows on your face. However, if you wear a head covering for religious purposes, it must be retained as long as your face is visible.
• Glasses: If you normally wear glasses, you can keep them on for your passport photo as long as there is no glare from the lenses and your eyes are fully visible. Sunglasses and tinted glasses are not permitted.
• Posture: Your posture should be neutral and facing directly at the camera. Avoid tilting your head or having a slouched or leaning position.

It is important to note that these requirements may vary slightly depending on the country or agency you are applying to.
