Passport Photo Requirements

The US requires passport photos to have a size of 2 x 2 inch. Most countries (including European Union countries, the United Kingdom, Australia and others) require 'standard' 3.5 x 4.5 cm photos. Passport Photo also complies with the EU, UK and Australian specifications for biometric passports. The important thing to remember about passport photos is that they should allow border inspectors to recognize you when they look at your passport. The guidelines you should follow to shoot and prepare photos that can be used in passports are:

Include a full face, front view and open eyes

Make sure photo presents full head from top of hair to shoulders

Take the photo in a plain white or off-white background

Avoid shadows on the face or background

Face in photo should have a natural expression (closed mouth)

Photos should not include sunglasses or hats

The contrast and lighting in the photo should be normal
