2×2 (US passport) photo requirements

The State Department accepts a photo taken by a friend or family member, so you can make it at home. Remove glasses, face the camera with a neutral expression, both eyes open and mouth closed, and stand a few feet in front of a plain white wall (or hang a white sheet). Don't use filters or edit the photo.
