Passport Photographs

Please submit two identical, recent color photos (taken within the last six months), 5cm x 5cm with a white background.  

U.S. passport photographs are different from Greek passport photographs and many Greek photographers are not familiar with U.S. photo specifications.  We strongly recommend that you print out the photo requirements for U.S. passports 

and take them to the photographer. Photographs that do not meet the specified requirements will be rejected.  Vending machine photographs and photographs printed on a home computer are unacceptable. 

A photographer is available at the Embassy from 8:30 a.m.  – 12:00 noon.  Photographs cost 10€ for 4 .  Please see below the photo shops near the Embassy where photos can be obtained.
