sport Photo Day: Are You Ready?
Planning to renew your U.S. passport or apply for one? Make sure your photo meets the U.S. Embassy’s specific requirements! Here’s a quick guide to ensure your passport photo is accepted:
1. **Size Matters:** The photo must be 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size.
2. **Background:** A plain white or off-white background is required. No shadows or patterns.
3. **Recent Photo:** Your photo should be taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance.
4. **Facial Expression:** Keep a neutral expression or a natural smile. Both eyes must be open.
5. **Attire:** Wear everyday clothing. Uniforms, except religious clothing worn daily, are not allowed. Avoid glasses, hats, and head coverings unless for religious reasons.
6. **Photo Quality:** The photo must be in color, high resolution, and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper.
**Pro Tip:** If you wear glasses, remove them for the photo. If your photo does not meet these guidelines, it could be rejected, causing delays in your passport processing!
