Need US passport photos in Toronto for an American passport application or renewal? Tell your photographer that you need the US format—not a standard Canadian passport photograph. Green Day Photography offers a studio appointment in Richmond Hill or a mobile passport photo visit in Toronto and the GTA, with the required delivery format confirmed before booking.
This guide helps you choose the right appointment, understand the printed photo checklist, and avoid mixing passport, visa and online-renewal instructions. We provide photography services, not passport application processing; the issuing authority makes the final acceptance decision.
Ready to book? Ask about US passport photos on WhatsApp or call 647-926-0010. Include your location, each person’s age and your application method.
US Passport Photo Requirements: Printed Photo Checklist
- Size: 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm); head height 1–1⅜ inches (25–35 mm), chin to crown.
- Recency: one colour photograph taken within six months.
- Background: plain white or off-white; even lighting without shadows.
- Position: face forward, head level, full face visible; use a neutral expression, open eyes and closed mouth.
- Quality: sharp image on matte or glossy photo-quality paper—not a photocopy.
- Glasses and coverings: remove glasses; medical exceptions and religious or medical head coverings require the applicable documentation.
- Clothing: everyday attire, not uniforms or camouflage.
- Editing: no appearance changes, filters, AI manipulation or replacement backgrounds.
Check the official U.S. Department of State photo guidance for examples and exceptions before submitting.
US vs Canadian Passport Photos
A Canadian passport print measures 50 × 70 mm, while the US print is square. Do not request a generic “passport photo” and assume the formats are interchangeable. If members of your household need different countries’ documents, tell us separately for each person. For Canadian applications, use our Canadian passport photo requirements guide; this page focuses on American passports.
Where to Get US Passport Photos in Toronto
Studio appointment in Richmond Hill
A studio session is a practical option if you can travel comfortably and want a scheduled appointment. Our studio is in Richmond Hill. Contact us before visiting so we can confirm availability, the US application type and the prints or file you need.
Mobile photos at your home or office
A home visit can be easier for families, newborns, seniors and anyone who has difficulty travelling. We bring the camera, portable background and lighting. You do not need to buy a backdrop or prepare your own photo first. Share any accessibility needs when booking so the appointment can be planned around the person, not just the equipment.
Mobile service covers Toronto, Downtown, Midtown, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan and nearby GTA communities, subject to availability and location pricing. See how our at-home passport photo service works for the wider service details.
US Passport Photo Appointment Pricing
Our current passport photography service prices are shown below in Canadian dollars. Confirm your address, application requirements and package inclusions before booking; these are photography charges, not government passport fees.
| Appointment option | Current price |
|---|---|
| Studio, by appointment | $50 per person |
| Local mobile, eligible nearby areas | From $79 for the first person |
| Standard GTA mobile | $100 for the first person |
| Baby or newborn session | From $100 |
| Senior or limited-mobility visit | From $100 |
| Extended GTA visit | From $120 |
| Additional person, same address and appointment | +$25 |
The local $79 starting rate does not apply automatically to infant or specialized sessions. Travel charges may apply outside the regular area. Review the passport photo packages and inclusions, then ask us to confirm the final total and the US-specific delivery format.
Printed Passport Photos, Online Renewal and Visa Files
Tell us which application you are completing. A printed passport appointment, online passport renewal and a US visa upload are different requests; a digital copy included in a package should not be assumed to satisfy every portal.
Renewing an American passport from Canada
Review the official renewal instructions for applicants in Canada to choose the correct route. Photographing you and preparing your images does not mean that we submit or manage your passport application.
Digital photo for an eligible online renewal
The current online-renewal guidance accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF files between 54 KB and 10 MB; do not create the file by scanning a print. See the official digital photo instructions. Online renewal also requires you to be in a US state or territory when you submit, among other conditions. Living in Toronto and having a digital photo does not establish eligibility; check the online-renewal eligibility checklist.
US visa photo requests
If you need a visa photograph rather than a US passport photograph, tell us the visa application and share its photo instructions. We confirm the appropriate file or print before the appointment rather than labelling visa-upload specifications as passport-renewal rules.
US Passport Photos for Babies and Children
A baby’s eyes need not be entirely open; other children must have open eyes. The baby’s face must remain visible, facing the camera, without another person or a pacifier in the image. These are US passport rules, not a reason to substitute Canadian baby-photo instructions.
Tell us your child’s age and any positioning concerns. A mobile session allows time for feeding and settling in familiar surroundings. Baby and newborn visits start from $100, with location and delivery confirmed in advance. Our baby passport photo home-visit guide explains the appointment experience; the US authority’s requirements govern a US submission.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
Send your application instructions, location, preferred time and number of people before the visit. Choose a simple outfit that contrasts with the background and arrange hair so your face is unobstructed. For a home session, set aside a clear, accessible space for the equipment. You do not need to rearrange the entire home; tell us about tight spaces, wheelchairs or bedside positioning in advance.
Our photographer guides positioning and checks the image and requested format. We create the lighting and background at capture instead of relying on beauty retouching to repair an unsuitable photograph. If you have an urgent deadline, ask about availability before assuming a same-day appointment or delivery.
