US passport photos are a different size from Canadian ones, so a Canadian passport photo won’t work for a US application. We take and print them to the US State Department standard.
What the US State Department asks for
- A square photo, 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm)
- Head size between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches, from chin to the top of the head
- A plain white or off-white background
- No glasses
- Taken within the last six months
US visas
The same 2 × 2 inch photo is used for most US visa applications. See our visa photos page for other countries.
