What photo does a passport card need?

A passport card uses the same 2×2 inch photo as a passport book, taken within six months, on a white or off-white background, with no glasses.

The DMV takes your REAL ID photo in person. You do not upload one. A U.S. passport card is also accepted at TSA, and that application uses a standard 2×2 photo.

What Customers Are Saying

“Fast and easy. Same price as the post office but it came out perfectly formatted and looked better. Used it for my DS-82 renewal and it was accepted on the first try.”

— Landon A.

“Way quicker than driving to CVS. Got both the digital file and the print sheet — used the digital for online renewal and printed the sheet at Walgreens for my wife’s application.”

— Edward B.

“After a rejected photo at Walgreens I tried this. Took 30 seconds, got accepted, done.”

— Gracy M.

“Saved me the hassle of getting my baby’s passport photo in person — which anyone with a toddler knows is a nightmare. Worth every cent.”

— Megan E.

100% Acceptance Guarantee

If your passport application is rejected because of the photo we delivered, we refund your order in full. No forms, no proof required — forward us the rejection notice and the refund is automatic within 24 hours.

This is the part most online passport photo services bury or hide. We don't, because it's the only promise that matters.

Real ID Photos FAQ

Size, background, and what you download.

No. Your state DMV takes the photo at the counter. Bring identity, Social Security, and two proofs of address.
