U.S. Passport Photo Guidelines
A-1 Passport's experienced staff takes high quality passport photographs that fit the appropriate guidelines set by the U.S. Department of State. A set of two U.S. Passport photos is $12.00; anything under $20 dollars is cash only, please. Unlike large compeditors, we go the extra mile taking and cropping your photos, making sure the camera settings and exposure are correct. Our quality guarantee ensures that your photos will be accepted.
