US passport photo requirements at the Honolulu passport office

When applying for a US passport, certain criteria must be met. One of the key elements of the enquiry is the passport photograph. You need to have an appropriate photo that meets the official requirements established by the US authorities. The most important requirements are the dimensions of the picture, the position of the head, the facial expression, the color of the background, etc. In case these official requirements are not met, both the photograph and the complete passport petition could be denied.

Depending on the country, there are particular regulations for the passport photograph. For example, the European or British requirements are different from those of the US authorities. As a result of the way the pictures are digitised, the authorities will not accept pictures that do not meet these specifications.
