Frequently asked questions
- What size is a US passport photo?
- 2×2 inches (51×51mm), or 600×600px for a digital upload.
- Can you smile in a US passport photo?
- No - a neutral expression with both eyes open is required. Slight smiles without teeth showing are sometimes accepted, but a plain neutral expression is the safest choice.
- Can you wear glasses in a US passport photo?
- As of recent rules, glasses are generally not recommended and may cause your photo to be rejected due to glare or obstruction of your eyes. It's safest to remove them for the photo.
- What should you wear for a US passport photo?
- Wear normal, everyday clothing in a color that contrasts with the background. Avoid uniforms, and avoid all-white clothing since it can blend into the background.
- Where can I get a US passport photo taken?
- You can take it yourself at home instead of visiting a studio or pharmacy - just use a plain white background, stand in even lighting, and use this tool to crop and resize it to the exact requirements.
- How do I take a US passport photo at home?
- Stand about 4-5 feet from a plain white or off-white wall, face the camera directly with a neutral expression, and make sure lighting is even with no shadows on your face or background. Then upload it here to crop and resize it correctly.
- How long does it take to get a US passport?
- Routine processing typically takes several weeks, with expedited service available for an additional fee - check the U.S. Department of State's current processing times before you travel.
- How much does a US passport cost?
- Fees depend on whether it's a new passport or renewal, and whether you need expedited service - check the U.S. Department of State's official fee schedule for current pricing.
