US Passport Photo Guides

Photo rules for every US passport route: first application, renewal by mail or online, passport cards and children, checked against travel.state.gov.

Every US passport photo rule in one checklist: 2x2 inch size, head height, white background, expression, glasses, head coverings and online renewal.

Why online passport renewal bounces a photo, what each rejection means and how to replace it, with the file rules and the fix for every failure.
