Everyone is required to submit a passport photo along with the Notary Public Application form. The standard passport photo is as follows:
- 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm)
- Full color photo that is not blurry, grainy, or pixelated
- Use a plain white background
- No glasses, hats, uniforms, or camouflage
- Neutral face
It’s possible to take and print a passport photo at home. Post Offices and pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens provide passport photo services for $15. Costco charges $5.
Additional information about passport photos is available at the U.S. Department of State website. There are examples of good photos as well as a video tutorial.
