IMPORTANT NOTE: We have some conflicting requirements about the background for Philippines Passport photos. Looks like some Philippines Consulates ask for a very specific Royal Blue background while some consulates, the consulate in Los Angeles for sure, seems to accept photos with white backgrounds too. So if you need Philippines Passport photos with a Royal Blue background, please provide us a digital photo that has that background color. Otherwise, we will create your photos against white/light-colored background.

Philippines Passport Photos Requirements

What are the new Photo requirements for the ePassport?
Regular Renewal / First Time Passport applicants - NO PASSPORT PHOTO REQUIRED - your photo will be taken digitally by our processors during the passport application enrollment step.

Replacement of Lost Passport / Irregular cases - One (1) colored passport-size (4.5cm X 3.5cm) photo with plain white background required. You may have your passport photo taken at any studio, as these will only be used for filing purposes

As per other consulates in the USA:

• Two (2) identical photos taken within the last six months of size 4.5 cm by 3.5 cm on a Royal Blue or Dark Blue background.
• There should be at least 8mm-10mm space at the top of the photo and the crown/head of the person to allow 'cropping' of the photo at the Passport Information Control Center (Note: This margin does not match with the sample photos, they have included. Those sample photos seem to have a barely 2-6mm margin. For a 4.5 cm tall photo, around 1 cm margin is too big!!)
• Matte Paper preferred: Photograph should be printed on good quality photo paper, preferably MATTE. (Note: We will do it on a very high-quality Glossy paper but if you do want us to use MATTE paper, please ask us specifically for MATTE paper. However, we will do only 6 photos if MATTE paper is chosen and we will strongly recommend you provide Walgreens store address for local pickup)
• Use of eyeglasses is acceptable, provided there is no glare from the glasses and applicants' eyes are visible. The use of sunglasses is not acceptable
