Russian Passport Photos

Russian passport photos are 35×45mm — similar to EU/Schengen photos but with a distinct requirement: 5mm of space between the top of the head and the top of the photo. Most US stores only offer 2×2 inch US passport photos. We provide correctly sized Russian passport photos with same-day pickup or worldwide delivery.
