A properly oriented passport photo is essential for a hassle-free application process. Greek officials impose stringent requirements of 40mm x 60mm as only images that adhere to these standards will pass, specifically biometric standards, and this will mitigate rejections. Adjustments to these standards can lead to processing hindrances or outright refusal to accept the application. PhotoGov makes it easy, offering compliant passport photos in a few simple steps.

When taking pictures of babies and children for passport, many of the same rules apply; for example, they must still adhere to the dress code, and the photograph must be high-quality and well-lit. With that being said, the State Department is generally more forgiving when it comes to the neutral expression requirement.
