A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Your head must face the camera directly and measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo unless you have a signed doctor's note for a medical condition. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons, which requires a signed statement.

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. For example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be completely open, and no other person can be in the frame, so laying them on a plain white sheet is recommended.
