2×2 Passport Photo Size

For U.S. paper passport applications, the printed photograph is exactly 2 inches by 2 inches (51×51 mm).

How large should the head be?

The distance from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head must be 1 to 1⅜ inches (25–35 mm). The head and shoulders should be centered and the entire head should remain visible.

Digital dimensions are not the same as physical print size

A square image file alone does not prove that a printed photo meets the physical requirements. Printing scale matters. ReadyPic's paid paper/print workflow provides a square print file plus a 4×6 sheet containing two copies.

ReadyPic is an independent service. It does not submit passport applications and cannot guarantee government acceptance. Always confirm current requirements with the U.S. Department of State.
