Have you checked to see if your passport is up to date? If it is time to renew your passport, that could mean a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo, too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most adult\u2019s passport photos are valid for ten years, however, there are some exceptions to this rule.&nbsp;To ensure your passport is&nbsp;ready to go for your next international getaway, find out when you need a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo, as well as&nbsp;eight&nbsp;passport photo do\u2019s and don\u2019ts.&nbsp;Let\u2019s dive in!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Do You Need a New Passport Photo?\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several&nbsp;reasons to&nbsp;get a new passport photo taken. First,&nbsp;anyone under the age of 16 is required to apply for a&nbsp;child passport.&nbsp;For someone older than 16, here are&nbsp;four factors&nbsp;that may require&nbsp;a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo being taken:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A significant change in your appearance&nbsp;due to&nbsp;extensive plastic surgery, severe facial trauma&nbsp;or&nbsp;facial deformities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>A large amount of weight loss. If serious weight loss has affected the appearance of someone\u2019s face or facial structure, they may need to take a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>A gender&nbsp;transition. If&nbsp;an individual&nbsp;has changed their gender from male to female or vice versa which has led to a significant change in their appearance, a new photo is mandatory.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>The addition or removal of extensive facial tattoos. Additional tattoos on a person\u2019s face&nbsp;or the removal of significant facial tattoos often requires a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unsure if the changes to your appearance constitute a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo, contact the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports\/requirements\/photos.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Department of State<\/a>&nbsp;for further clarification.&nbsp;Next, let\u2019s explore&nbsp;eight&nbsp;common passport photo do\u2019s and don\u2019ts&nbsp;to&nbsp;prepare for&nbsp;your next passport photo session.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. Use Clear Photos Only\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest reasons a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo is&nbsp;not&nbsp;accepted is because the photo is&nbsp;not&nbsp;clear.&nbsp;Be sure the photo&nbsp;is in focus, not grainy&nbsp;and is in color. Additionally, check that you&nbsp;are&nbsp;not too far away in the photo and that&nbsp;all of&nbsp;your facial features&nbsp;are seen clearly.&nbsp;Specifically,&nbsp;the bottom of&nbsp;your&nbsp;chin to the top of the head&nbsp;should be&nbsp;between 1 -1 3\/8 inches.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Check Your Photo\u2019s Light Quality\u00a0\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common mistake when it comes to&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photos is&nbsp;ensuring the picture features adequate lighting.&nbsp;Passport photos cannot include shadows, particularly over a person\u2019s face or head. Furthermore, the picture should not be overexposed, discolored or too bright. Red eyes should also be avoided.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Keep Your Eyes Open\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it may seem obvious, your eyes need to be fully open in your passport photo.&nbsp;For the best results, focus on the person\u2019s nose who is taking your passport photo. This will ensure your eyes are not tilted too far up or down. Unfortunately, if you blink and your eyes close during your photo, you&nbsp;will&nbsp;need to retake it.&nbsp;Additionally, both of your eyes need to be&nbsp;included in your photo, meaning side profile photos are not accepted.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Your Face Must be Uncovered <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Passport photos require that your face is not covered by hats, hair&nbsp;or eyeglasses. As of 2016, eyeglasses can no longer be worn in U.S. passport photos.&nbsp;According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. State Department<\/a>, if you&nbsp;are unable to&nbsp;remove your glasses temporarily due to medical reasons, you will need to include a signed note from your doctor with your passport application.&nbsp;Additionally,&nbsp;jewelry&nbsp;that hides your face as well as&nbsp;headphones and other electronic devices are prohibited in passport photos.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. Know the Correct Photo Dimensions\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When submitting a&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo, be sure it&nbsp;is&nbsp;the correct dimensions. Photos should be&nbsp;2 x 2 inches.&nbsp;The picture should be printed on a matte&nbsp;or slightly glossy paper. Ensure that your photo does not have any holes, significant creases or smudges on it, as well. These factors may result in your&nbsp;passport&nbsp;photo being denied.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6. Strike the Appropriate Pose\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, selfies are not allowed when it&nbsp;comes&nbsp;to&nbsp;passport photos. It is required that someone else take your photo for you, or you use a tripod and a photo timer. In terms of your facial expression, your face should appear neutral or with a slight smile. As a rule, you should not smile with your teeth in your passport photo. Additionally, you want to ensure your head is centered in the picture frame and not tilted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#7. Pick the Right Attire\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&nbsp;is&nbsp;tempting to dress up for your&nbsp;new passport&nbsp;photo, your picture should be taken in your everyday, normal clothing. Uniforms, as well as clothing that resembles a&nbsp;uniform,&nbsp;are not acceptable. Additionally, clothing featuring a&nbsp;camouflage&nbsp;pattern are also prohibited. To ensure you&nbsp;are&nbsp;following the passport photo rules,&nbsp;stick to basic clothing items such as jeans and a t-shirt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#8. Learn the Rules for a Child\u2019s Passport\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The passport photo requirements for children and babies differ slightly than&nbsp;the requirements for&nbsp;adults. In an infant\u2019s photo, it\u2019s acceptable if their eyes are not fully open or looking straight forward. However, toddlers and older children are expected to be in the center of the photo, with their eyes facing forward and open.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to take a passport photo for an infant, the U.S. State Department suggests laying the&nbsp;baby on his or her back on a plain white or off-white sheet.&nbsp;If possible, ensure there are no shadows across the baby\u2019s head or face when taking the photo.&nbsp;For additional help, visit the U.S. State Department\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports\/requirements\/photos.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>&nbsp;to see example photos for a child\u2019s passport.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_397569799.jpg\" alt=\"new-passport-dos-and-donts\" class=\"wp-image-5799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_397569799.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_397569799-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_397569799-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/shutterstock_397569799-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Travel Ready with a New Passport Photo Today\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&nbsp;The&nbsp;Passport Office help you prepare for your next&nbsp;international trip.&nbsp;If you&nbsp;are&nbsp;in need of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expedited passport<\/a>&nbsp;services, passport renewal, a child\u2019s passport or other passport help,&nbsp;look no further.
