What is the difference between a passport photo and a passport copy?
A passport photo is a professional quality photograph of your face against a solid white background. US passport photos are 2″x 2″ but you may be required to neatly trim your photos to the exact dimensions required by your host country. Please refer to the US Department of State guide to producing acceptable passport photos. Any photo that does not meet the standards outlined by the Department of State will be rejected and may negatively affect your chances of placement. A passport copy is a photocopy of the particulars page of your passport. Be sure that your photo, personal information, and signature are clear and easy to read on your passport copy. It is not necessary to use high quality paper.
