Why Do I Need Special Photos for a Passport?

Getting a passport photo is not as easy as taking your most recent cool selfie and printing it out.

Passport photos need to comply with strict regulations issued by the Bureau of Consular Affairs. The rules are as follows:

Size
Background
Clothing, glasses, and appearance
Facial expression

Size

Your passport photo must measure exactly 2 x 2" (5 x 5 cm), and your head should be between 1 and 1 3/8" from top to bottom.

Background

The photo background should be plain white, and you should not cast a shadow in your picture. The outline of your head needs to be distinguishable from the background.

Clothing, Glasses, and Appearance

You should wear neutral colors that do not distract from your face. Glasses should be removed, and sunglasses are not allowed.

You also need to remove any headgear unless it is a religious or medical requirement. In these cases, you will need:

A written statement explaining your membership of a recognized religion
A doctor's letter confirming your medical need to wear something on your head

Any item of clothing that obscures your face needs to be removed.

Facial Expression

Passport photos should show you with a neutral facial expression. A natural smile is permitted, but your mouth should be closed. Both eyes need to be open, and the photo has to show you looking directly into the camera.

UPS understands these regulations and can provide passport photos that meet the criteria.

What Is the UPS Store Passport Photo Price?

If you use a UPS store to have your passport photos taken, you will pay $11.99 for two hard copies of your photo.

Your photos are normally processed while you wait, but you may have to return later the same day to collect them. UPS advises that you make an appointment at one of their 4,900 outlets to ensure rapid service.

The price of UPS passport photos compares to other stores as follows:

FedEx—$14.95
USPS—$15
Walmart—$7.44
Target—$12.99
CVS photo—$14.99
Walgreens—$14.99
AAA—between $10 and $15 (the price depends on your membership level)

Why Are Passport Photos So Expensive?

Store-bought passport photos are expensive because you are paying for the cost of the equipment, staff time, and company overheads associated with the store. You should also factor into the cost of the following elements:

Travel to and from the store
Parking
A possible second trip to pick up the photos
Wasted time

The cheaper option is to take your own passport photos at home , but this is not a simple exercise.

Can I Save Money by Taking and Printing Photos at Home?

To take digital passport photos at home, you will need a good cell phone, tablet, or camera to achieve the results you need.

To ensure your photos comply with the requirements, you will need:

Adequate lighting
A tripod or helper (selfies are prohibited)
Photo editing software or access to an online photo tool

The process for creating your own passport photos at home is as follows:

Process Step	Explanation
Taking the photo	You must make sure your photo is correctly positioned, lit, and composed according to the requirements
Editing	The photo should be cropped to the correct dimensions, but you are not allowed to add any filters, corrections, or enhancements to it
Printing	Once the photo is of the correct size, you will need to print it on good-quality photo paper
