At PassportPhotoRVA, I provide you with printed and digital USA passport, citizenship, USCIS student OPT, immigration and lottery green card photos to the specifications as required by the accepting agency.
Printed passports are 2 x 2 inches (50 x 50 mm) , sized such that your head is centered and between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (between 25 and 35 mm) from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. On digital photos your head should be between 50% and 69% of the image's total height from the top of the head, including the hair, to the bottom of the chin.
Uniforms, clothing that looks like a uniform, and camouflage attire cannot be worn in the photo except in the case of religious attire that is worn daily.
You may wear a hat or head covering, but you must submit a signed statement that verifies that the hat or head covering is part of recognized, traditional religious attire that is customarily or required to be worn continuously in public or a signed doctor's statement verifying the item is used daily for medical purposes. Your full face must be visible and your hat or head covering cannot obscure your hairline or cast shadows on your face.
For writing on the back of your photos, the best results are obtained to write with a fine sharpie permanent marker.
VCU OPT students:
Henrico Photo is proud to be a preferred passport photographer for VCU OPT students. I gladly provide you with the printed and digital passport photos, and I will do a soft upload in my studio with USCIS, while you wait, to check and make sure the digital photo will be accepted. If for some odd reason you encounter an issue with your passport photos, rest assure I guarantee my photos to pass.
Rules are slightly different, with the most important one the 1-month validity of the passport photo, and head covering rules.
