Clear photo pricing
U.S. passport photo sets are $20. International passport and visa photo prices vary by country and required format.
Country specific
Each consulate sets its own dimensions and background. The photo is taken to the rule for the country you are applying to.
Walk in seven days
Photos take a few minutes at the counter and are printed on the spot.
Photo and document review
If you are also using our passport or visa service, we can take the photo and review your application documents during the same visit.
In short
What you get with a U.S. passport photo set.
Your photo is checked for the required size, background, framing, and basic compliance before you leave. U.S. passport photos are 2 x 2 inches and must follow current Department of State requirements.
- Correct dimensions — measured for the country you are applying to, not a generic crop.
- Correct background — the plain white, cream or light grey each government requires, evenly lit and shadow free.
- Compliant framing — centered head position, neutral expression, both eyes open, and no eyeglasses unless a documented medical exception applies.
- Printed while you wait — a few minutes at the counter, ready to submit the same day.

Photos we take
Every country sets its own size and background.
These are common formats requested at the Los Angeles counter. Other country-specific sizes and backgrounds are available on request; pricing may vary by format.
U.S. passport photo
Plain white background, taken to the U.S. Department of State specification. Used for new, renewal, child and lost passport applications.
Canadian passport photo
The Canadian size with a neutral background, including the date and studio details where they are required on the reverse.
European and Schengen photo
Biometric format for EU and Schengen passports and visas, on a light grey or white background.
British passport photo
UK passport and visa standard, plain cream or light grey background, no shadows.
Visa photos, multiple countries
China, India, Brazil, Russia and more. Each consulate's exact size and background is matched. Tell the counter which country you are applying to.
Green card and citizenship
USCIS compliant photos for green card, citizenship, OCI and other immigration documents.
Some consulates require a special size or finish. Call (310) 402-1619 or ask at the counter and it is handled the same day.
Why it matters
A rejected photo costs days, not dollars.
Photo problems can delay a passport application. The U.S. Department of State says unacceptable photos are a leading reason applications are placed on hold, so size, lighting, background, and framing matter.
Where photos get rejected
- Wrong dimensions. A 2 x 2 inch U.S. crop is not accepted where 35 x 45 mm is required, and the head must fill a set proportion of the frame.
- Wrong background. For U.S. passports, the background must be plain white or off-white and free of shadows, textures, or objects.
- Glasses, hats and expression. Glasses are not permitted on U.S. passport photos, and the expression must be neutral with both eyes open.
- Too old. A U.S. passport photo must be taken within the last six months and reflect your current appearance. Other countries may use different recency rules.
Taken at the counter
- Checked before you leave. Size, background and framing are compared against the current specification for your country.
- Printed on the spot. A set is ready in a few minutes.
- Paired with document review. If you are using our passport or visa service, we can take the photo and review your application documents during the same visit.
- Open seven days. Including Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
