US Passport Photo Requirements 2026

The US State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) with a white or off-white background. The head must be between 1 inch and 1⅜ inches tall (25–35 mm), centred in the frame. Our free tool enforces all these specifications so your photo will not be rejected at the post office, acceptance facility, or US Embassy.
