PAVILION PASSPORT TEMPLATE.PDF
Passport photographs have criteria that are easy to miss. Avoid the time and hassle of re-working a rejected passport photo and meet the requirements the first time around with this template.
Attention!
Check with your unit to ensure there are no local templates that should be used instead.
When taking a passport photo, the photo must be in color against a plain white background. Military uniforms of any kind are prohibited, and the subject must have a neutral expression (no smiling). Before you take the photo, consult Travel.State.Gov's webpage on passport photos for the most up-to-date specifications and requirements.
