FAQ
For your US passport application, you only need one photo that meets all official requirements. The type of image you need varies depending on how you choose to apply for your US passport. If it’s an in-person application, you’ll need a printed photo. Simply print it out at home on photo paper or visit a local store that offers photo printing services. If you are renewing your passport online, you’ll need a digital photo that meets the same rules.
