 Format(Size)Four (4) identical photographs must be submitted,  They should be 35-38mm x 45-50mm in Width and Height.  They should show a close up of your face and the top of your shoulders so that your face takes up between 70% - 80% of the face or 35mm to 40mmfrom the chin to the crown of the head. The photo must clearly show the person's facial features in a straight forward position from the tip of the chin to the crown of the head as well as the left and right sides of the face.  In the case of voluminous hair, it must be ensured that the head (including the hairstyle) is fully depicted without reducing the size of the face, if possible.  The face must be centered in the photo and no more than six months old, to ensure an up to date likeness. 
 BackgroundThe background should be gray.  The background should not have any pattern. The photo should show only the person to be photographed (no other persons or objects in the photo). No shadows must be shown on the background.


 Expression      

 

You need to take the photo with a neutral expression with your mouth closed, not laughing, smiling, frowning and not showing your teeth. With both eyes open, contrived expressions such as raised eyebrows or squinting are not acceptable.
 Head Position The head of the person photographed should be neither at an angle nor turned (portrait style).  Your head must be square to the camera; your face can not be slightly rotated and or tilted. Your face and eyes must be straight towards the camera so we can see an equal amount of each ear and cheek.
 Eyes & Line of  sightThe person in the photo must look directly into the camera. The eyes must be open and dearly visible and may not be covered by hair or spectacle frames.  The camera lens must be at the eye level of the person being photographed , not from above or below
 Lighting
The face must be evenly illuminated by the flash on the camera. Reflections or shadows on the face as well as red eyes must be avoided.  
 Photo Quality
The photo should be printed on high-quality paper with a print resolution of at least 600 dpi (especially when taken with a digital camera). The photo must be neutral in color and skin tones should appear natural. The photo should have no creases or impurities . Photograph cannot be manipulated, for example, by removing spots or softening lines.  Photos must be in color.
 Wearing  GlassesPlease take off your glasses; it will guarantee your photo passing. If you must wear your glasses there cannot be any glare anywhere on the glass and the frame cannot cover any part of your eyes. The eyes must be clearly recognizable (reflections from glasses, tinted glasses or sunglasses are not permitted). 
 Head wearGenerally speaking, head wear is not permitted. Exceptions are possible, especially for religious reasons. In such cases, the face must be visible from the lower tip of the chin to the forehead. No shadows should be visible on the face.
 Focus/Contrast 

The face must be sharply focused in all areas, rich in contrast and clear. 








Infants or very small children who are unable to support themselves should be photographed

lying down from above.  Hands, arms, etc. used to support the child should not be visible.

We were in need of non-US passport photos but I couldn't find anywhere around where I live to print them in the exact size specifications, which differ from the USA. I found this site online and they provided amazing service. They told me that the first photo I sent them would not be accepted by the passport agency and told me what to do differently in retaking the picture. And then, once resubmitted, I received the photos back in several days, even though it was a holiday weekend. Thank you for your prompt and professional service.

Excellent service and very helpful with information on sending the correct photo and file size, etc. Submitted my photos on a Friday and received them in the mail the following Wednesday. I was able to get them notarized and mailed off the next day to to the Consulate. Will defiantly recommend this service to anyone needing photos for International passports.

Great service, fast response to questions regarding how to take a photo. Quick to let you know if submitted photo was acceptable or not for the country passport that you are applying for. There are passport apps one can try and use but unless you are a good photographer and have a good understanding of cropping/editing etc it is too hard to get it right. Much easier to use this service!

I went to 2 different chain stores to get my Irish Passport Photos. They both charged me $35 and the size and the photo's were wrong. I was stressed because I had to get this done. I then found passport photo now. It was so easy. First I uploaded the photo from one of the stores. I was immediately emailed that it was incorrect. I took my own picture and sent it. It was in the mail back to me by the next day. I paid for priority mail I had it back in 2 Day's! Save yourself time and money use this service! I will never do it any other way!

Photo requirements for an Irish passport are strict and differ from those in the USA. What a relief it was to find this online service. I had difficulty downloading my photo to the site, so I emailed Bruce and received a response the same day. I followed his suggestion and sent it off. Six days later, my photos arrived. So easy and inexpensive.
