Passport

Get fast and convenient passport, picture ID, green card, and U.S. Department photos at Debophotostudio for $15. We can also take ID photos for many local, state, and regional organizations. Our photographer are trained to ensure that your passport and ID photos adhere to strict federal regulations.We normally follow 4 simple instructions:
1. Photographer: Stand about 6 feet away from the subject.
Capture the subject from the shoulders and leave space above the head for later cropping
2. Shadows: ensure the subject stands one feet away from the
background to avoid shadows
3. Expression: make sure the subject has a neutral expression with no teeth showing – that’s a biometrics requirement nowadays!
4. Eyes:make sure no red eye in your photos and that glasses aren’t hiding your eye (or simply remove them)Please keep in mind that your passport may not be accepted at the border if your appearance has changed significantly or if you cannot be identified from the photo in your current passport.  We try our best to:

  • Make sure the photo presents the full head from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin
  • Center the head with the frame
  • Make sure the person in the photo have a neutral expression and face the camera
