Passport Photos

Whether you are preparing for a “bucket-list” vacation or an urgent international business assignment, a valid passport is your first step.

Using state-of-the-art digital equipment specifically designed for ID photography, we ensure your “shot” meets the rigorous standards required for a successful application.

Quality ID Photos Ready in Minutes

Precision and Compliance

Government regulations for passport photos are strict. Even a small shadow or an incorrect head position can lead to an application being rejected. We analyze every photo to ensure it meets both U.S. and international regulations:

  • Sizing: Precise 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) prints for U.S. passports, with custom sizing available for international visas (e.g., 35×45 mm for Schengen/UK).

  • Composition: Correct head placement and eye height according to official templates.

  • Background: Plain white or off-white backgrounds with uniform lighting to eliminate shadows.

  • Resolution: High-resolution, professional-grade prints on photo-quality paper—no grainy or pixelated images.

Preparation Tips for a Perfect Photo

To ensure your photo is accepted the first time, keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • Attire: Wear everyday, professional clothing. Avoid white or light gray tops, as they blend into the background. Solid, dark colors (like black, navy, or burgundy) provide the best contrast.

  • Uniforms: Commercial or military uniforms and camouflage patterns are not permitted.

  • Eyeglasses: Glasses must be removed for the photo. If they cannot be removed for medical reasons, a signed doctor’s statement is required.

  • Headwear: No hats or headbands are allowed, unless worn daily for religious or medical purposes (with a signed statement).

  • Expression: Maintain a neutral facial expression or a natural, non-exaggerated smile with both eyes open and mouth closed.

No Appointment Necessary

Skip the long lines and the “surly” service at other locations. At Ship-N-Go, we are happy to see you and can have your photos ready in minutes. For information on the full application process, please visit the U.S. Department of State website.
