Philippines Passport Photos
We are a premier online service for Philippines passport and PRC photos. For Philippines PRC (Professional Regulation Commission) photos, see the PRC photo page →
Background color varies by consulate: Most Philippine consulates require a royal blue or dark blue background. The Los Angeles consulate accepts white backgrounds. The New York consulate takes photos digitally on-site for ePassport enrollment. Always check your specific consulate's requirements before ordering.
