US Passport Photo Requirements — Quick Reference

The most searched passport photo questions relate to US State Department requirements. Here is a quick reference: 2×2 inches, white background, head 1 to 1-3/8 inches tall, eyes open, no glasses, neutral expression, taken within 6 months.

The most common reasons for US passport photo rejection are: glasses (prohibited since 2016), incorrect head size, shadows on background, photo too old, or wrong dimensions. Visa Photo prevents all of these with Software + expert verification.

Visa Photo FAQ — Size & Requirements by Country

Visa photo requirements are one of the most searched topics globally. Each country uses different specifications. The Schengen visa (35×45mm) is the most searched, followed by US visa (DS-160, 2×2 inches), China visa (33×48mm) and India e-Visa (51×51mm).

The key rule: always use the visa specifications for your destination country, not your home country passport specifications. Visa Photo automatically applies the correct visa format when you select your destination.
