How to take your own Photo 2x2 cm photo

You can take a job application photo yourself with this setup, though the size and format come from the employer.

If you don’t want to go through the trouble and expense of locating and hiring a professional photographer to take your picture, you can simply take your own from home. So long as you follow the below instructions carefully, you can capture the perfect photo photo yourself:

1. Take a picture of yourself

Open up the PhotoGov.net photo service and take your picture. Make sure you’re not wearing any headcovers or glasses, do not wear a uniform, and keep your expression neutral. Ensure that the area is well-lit and that you are standing against a neutral background.

Watch "How to take a photo" (00:46)

2. Upload your photo to PhotoGov AI

Next, upload your image and process it through our site.

3. Receive your Passport Photo

Finally, you can download your ID photo. These images can be printed off, or you can simply use them as digital photos.

Best Ways to Take a 2x2 cm Photo

Lighting: To keep harsh shadows off your face or background, use natural light or gentle artificial light

Background: Stand in front of a wall that is simple white or light-colored. Don't let any patterns or things get in the way

Positioning: Your head should be in the middle and pointing straight ahead. Your face should take up roughly 70 to 80 percent of the height of the picture

Wear dark, solid-colored clothes to stand out against the background. Don't wear tops that are white or shiny

Things to Avoid Making Mistakes

Using the wrong size (such passport size instead of 2x2 cm)

Putting on glasses or hats that hide your face

Using photographs that are fuzzy, low-resolution, or too bright

Background with shadows, textures, or things

Smiling or moving your head

PhotoGov automatically finds and fixes these problems while processing photos

How to take Photo 2x2 cm photos for babies and kids

When taking pictures of babies and children for photo, many of the same rules apply; for example, they must still adhere to the dress code, and the photograph must be high-quality and well-lit. With that being said, the State Department is generally more forgiving when it comes to the neutral expression requirement.

If you are photographing a newborn:
Spread a white sheet out over the floor.
Place the baby down on the sheet and take their photograph against it.

For slightly older babies:

Prop them up in a child’s chair against a white sheet.
If they are still unable to hold up their head, prop it up for them using a hand behind the sheet. Ensure no one else is visible in the shot.

More tips for being compliant

No retouching: Don't use digital filters or programs that change the way your face looks

Sharpness: Make sure the picture is clean and in focus, with no pixelation or blurriness

Face Coverage: Your face should take up 70–80% of the height of the picture

File Size and Type: JPEG or PNG, and less than 1 MB for digital submission

Submission and Printing Guidelines

For Physical Submission: Make sure the size is exactly 2x2 cm and print your picture on high-quality matte or glossy photo paper

To submit digitally, upload your photo to the right gateway and make sure it satisfies the size and resolution requirements US federal forms ask for the larger inch square, and our 2x2 photo guide describes that 51 x 51 mm format.
