Canadian dual citizens & travellers: United States Passport sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for United States Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
In Canada, US united states passport requests are common for dual citizens and frequent travellers. Canadian passport dimensions (often taller prints) are a frequent mix-up with United States square or ratio crops.
This article is scoped to United States Passport as a United States travel / passport photo (2 × 2 in, White). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
Canada’s common 50 × 70 mm passport strip is taller than United States Passport at 2 × 2 in. Dual citizens who recycle the Canadian print into a United States form get predictable rejections.
For most United States passport photos the canonical print is a square 2 × 2 inch frame on a plain white background. Eyes open, mouth closed, and no typical eyeglass glare are recurring rejection themes. This page locks United States Passport to 2 × 2 in / White.
From any province: selfie → United States Passport selected → upload on this page → use the export for United States online tools or a United States appointment while living in Canada.
50 × 70 mm Canada vs United States Passport
Do not trim a Canadian strip into another shape in Preview/Photos — head-size percentages break. Regenerate with United States Passport so 2 × 2 in is authored correctly.
Background must read White for this passport document even if your Canadian studio used a cooler grey.
Cross-border filing habits for United States Passport
Keep separate folders: “CA passport” vs “United States Passport”. Mixing filenames is how the wrong JPEG gets uploaded at midnight.
United States passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to United States Passport only: 2 × 2 in on a White background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “United States passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
Green card & USCIS (passport page only)
High-volume green card photo / USCIS 2x2 searches share the 2 × 2 in family with United States Passport (White background).
Same print size ≠ same filing. Export a fresh file per application. DV lottery photos are a separate product — not this passport tool.
DS-160 vs passport renewal uploads
Both often want 2×2, but portals add different kilobyte caps. Author United States Passport first, then compress.
Drugstore “passport photo” menus sometimes print the wrong SKU — keep control with this online crop.
