Why get it done here

We know the specs

Size, head height, background color. We set up and crop your photo for your country, not just the U.S. default.

The fine print, handled

Some countries need more than a photo. For Canada, we add the studio name, address and date on the back.

Retake until you like it

This photo stays in your passport for years. See yourself on the monitor and click when you're ready.

"I had a great experience at Cheesy Studio for my ID photo. The environment was relaxed and professional, and the team was very friendly and helpful. They even helped me with simple makeup and hair touch-ups, which made the whole experience feel easy and thoughtful. Highly recommend!"

International photo questions

Can I use my U.S. passport photo for my home passport?

Usually not. Most countries use a different size and head height, so the photo needs to be taken and cut for that country.

What if my country isn't listed?

We can do most countries. Tell us which document you need when you book, and if your consulate has a special requirement, bring or send us the official photo guidelines.

Can I get a digital file for an online application?

Yes. Every session includes unlimited digital photos, and we can size one for your country's online application.
