Passport Photo Services
Passport and immigration photos can be photographed while
you wait! At Photo Express Digital Pro Lab, we have trained
passport specialists who are familiar with a variety of different
countries' passport requirements. All Passport and Immigration
photos are shot on a white background and printed on glossy
paper. The photos are printed in sets (i.e., U.S. Passport requires
a set of 2), and additional sets from the same image are usually
available at a discount.
The most common passport types are U.S., Canadian and Mexican. While we are familiar with most passport specifications, it is always helpful if you have a copy of your country's detailed passport or immigration photo requirements.
We have the ability to meet most custom and international passport photo requirements. If you are unsure about your international passport specifications, please contact your country's embassy or consolate for the latest photo requirements.
We guarantee that our passport photos will be accepted by the passport agency or we will re-shoot them at no charge. Our studio lighting produces a very high-quality image. We always say that just because they are passport photos, doesn't mean they need to look like mug shots!
Helpful Tips:
General for All Countries
- No White Shirts for most countries including US.
- Mouth Closed. Most counties require your mouth to be closed with a neutral expression.
- No Glasses. Most countries are moving to biometric specs and use facial recognition software we recommend no eye glasses. Your photo may be rejected even if there is a highlight or light glare anywhere on the glasses.
- Infant Passports. Please come in when the infant is awake because the eyes need to be open.
