Easily upload your images to have Passport Photos printed.
If you need passport photos, we can create them for you using photos that you provide to us. Just follow the following steps:
1) Take a few photos of yourself in direct, flat lighting in front of a plain light colored background. Use the references below as an example of how to take your photos.
2) A pleasant, neutral expression is best.
3) Be mindful of shadows and glasses reflections. Remember. NO glasses for US passport photos!.
4) If your phone has a portrait/zoom lens, its best to use that.
5) Upload your photos along with a description of which country you need the passport photos for. (2x2" United States passport photos are standard).
6) We will review the photos and format them to passport standards. If we have any questions or if your photos have any issues, we'll let you know.
7) We will print your passport photos and you will be notified when they are ready for pickup.

Tips for Shooting Your Photos:
-
Soft, even light is important. Make sure that there are no harsh shadows and the whole face is illuminated evenly.
-
A white background is optimal but other light colors will work too.
-
Use the zoomed in lens on your phone camera (portrait mode on iPhone) to take the picture and turn the blur effect off or all the way down.
-
Leave a little white space around faces.
-
A small natural smile is fine but avoid exaggerated smiles or expressions. Neutral expressions are preferred.
-
If you are unsure which expression or light is best, include a few options and we can select the photo that will best meet passport requirements.
