Passport photos must meet specific requirements set by the government agency that issues passports. According to the U.S. Department of State, passport applicants should submit photos that are:

  • Color
  • Taken within the last six months
  • Clear and not filtered
  • Do not include eyeglasses
  • White or off-white background without shadows, texture, or lines

It can be difficult to navigate these requirements on your own. AAA passport photos offer an affordable and simple way to ensure that travelers put their best face forward during the application process, whether they are getting a new passport or renewing an expired one.

Why You Need AAA Passport Photos

In short, international travel outside the U.S. requires a passport. Although nearly every American has a phone that takes photos in their pocket, it can still be challenging to meet the stringent requirements for passport photos without having access to the proper equipment. Those who have a trip planned may wonder where to take passport photos, and the simple answer is that a local AAA office is a great option for AAA members.
