-
• Two (2) identical, unsigned, color photographs, taken within the past six months.
- • Photograph background must be white or off-white.
- • Square images, exactly 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 centimeters).
-
• The customer's head, measured from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair, should be between 1 inch and 1-3/8 inches (2.5centimeters to 3.5 centimeters). The head should be centered in the photo. The head of the person being photographed should not be tilted up, down or to the side. It should cover about 50% of the area of the photo.
- • The photo should show a clear, front view of the customer.
- • The customer should be in normal street attire, without a hat.
- • Glasses, but not sunglasses, may be worn.
- • Uniforms may only be worn if part of religious attire that is worn daily.
-
• Only original photographs are acceptable. Digital photographs must conform to the standards listed here: http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/pptphotos/digital_photography.html. Self-service photo machine photographs are not of high enough quality, and will not be accepted.
-
• You may also contact the Embassy’s Passport Office at 01-43-12-29-42, 01-43-12-28-54 or 01-43-12-22-53 from 2:30pm to 5:00pm., only. You may consult our website:

We advise you to call the photographer before going. Specify that you want photographs for an American passport, since photographers make various-sized photographs.
