US Passport Photo Size
US passport photos are commonly prepared as a 2 x 2 inch square photo with a plain light background.
Use A Square Crop
A square format makes it easier to fit the required head position and spacing.
Keep the photo recent, sharp and evenly lit, with the face looking straight at the camera.
Verify Current Rules
Passport requirements can change, so confirm the latest official rules before submitting.
Use the online maker to prepare the image, then compare it with the official checklist.
