Häufig gestellte Fragen
- What is the official photo size for a US passport application?
- Physical U.S. passport photos must measure exactly 2 × 2 inches (50.8 mm × 50.8 mm / 51 mm × 51 mm). For online renewals, digital uploads must be square (minimum 600 × 600 pixels up to 1200 × 1200 pixels) in JPEG format.
- Can I wear eyeglasses in my US passport photo?
- No. The U.S. Department of State strictly prohibited eyeglasses in passport photos in November 2016. Eyeglasses are permitted only in rare documented medical emergencies with a signed doctor’s statement.
- What background color is required for US passport photos?
- The background must be plain white or off-white without any patterns, objects, or ambient shadows.
- Can I smile in a US passport photo?
- The U.S. Department of State permits a natural, unexaggerated smile with both eyes open, or a neutral facial expression with mouth closed.
- Can I take my US passport photo with a smartphone at home?
- Yes, provided the photo is taken in good daylight against a plain white wall, positioned at eye level from 4–6 feet away (not a selfie), and cropped to exact 2 × 2 inch proportions with correct head height.
- What clothing should I wear for a US passport photo?
- Wear everyday street clothing. Uniforms, clothing that resembles a uniform, and camouflage attire are prohibited. Hats and head coverings are permitted only for documented religious or medical reasons, provided the full face is clearly visible.
