How It Works
Choose a photo
A front-facing photo against a plain light wall, taken by someone else from a few steps away. JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Fit the head

Print at 100 percent
Create the PDF and print it at Actual size on photo paper. Measure one photo with a ruler before you cut.
What the State Department Asks For
- One color photo for a paper application, taken in the last 6 months.
- Head and shoulders centered, the head fully visible and 1 to 1 3/8 inches (25 to 35 mm) from the chin to the top of the head.
- Plain white or off-white background without shadows; eyeglasses removed.
- The original photo, without filters or digital changes, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper.
A friend or family member may take the photo, according to the Department of State. Online renewals use a digital photo instead of a print. Source: U.S. Department of State, Passport Photos, checked October 31, 2026.
