US passport FAQ

US passport photo size questions

The U.S. Department of State requires 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) photos with the head between 1 inch and 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm) from chin to top of hair.

What size is a US passport photo?

US passport photos are 2×2 inches (51×51 mm). Passprint crops and exports at this size with 300 DPI resolution for sharp prints.

Can Passprint photos be used for US passport renewal?

Passprint sizes and frames portraits to common US specifications. Applicants should always verify the latest Department of State guidance before submission.

What background is accepted for US passport photos?

A plain white or off-white background is standard. Passprint removes distracting backgrounds and replaces them with compliant tones.

How is a US passport photo different from a US visa photo?

Both use 2×2 inches, but visa photos target DS-160 digital upload with specific file-size limits while passport renewals may use online portals with different compression rules. Passprint exports both digital and print formats.

How many copies can I print per sheet?

Layout presets place multiple 2×2 copies on A4 or Letter paper with spacing and trim guides for efficient studio printing.
