Tips for Passport Photos

Getting your picture taken is one matter, but finding a photo that’s acceptable for the US Department of State is a necessity if you don’t want to have your application returned and your travels delayed. Naturally, you should face the camera with both eyes open. Closed-mouth smiles are allowed, but hats and head coverings are not unless specifically noted they are for religious or medical reasons. Recently, the US Department of State stopped allowing glasses to be worn in passport photos.

TVP will take your picture for any current applications and give you any extra photos you may want. If you plan on applying for any visas or non-travel related applications, it’s important to remember any passport or visa paperwork generally requires pictures be taken within the last six months. Our travel experts will ensure sure your pictures are taken against a white background and sized correctly for applications: 2”x2”, facing forward.

Changing your appearance before your next trip?

If you show up for immigration looking exactly the same way for the next ten years, good for you: you’re one of the few. However, many travelers change their clothes, grow a beard, and maybe get a facial tattoo if they’re in the mood. What if your appearance changes that drastically? Is your passport still valid?

Anything with your hair isn’t grounds to apply for a new passport, even if you choose to color it fuchsia. However, any significant changes to your face outside of that, like massive or multiple piercings, any tattoos, or a large amount of weight loss/gain can be grounds for immigration rejecting your passport. In addition, no uniforms or camouflage clothing may be worn.
