Use the Beverly Boulevard office for your document visit

Mid-Wilshire is listed among the areas served by our LA Google Business Profile. This page directs you to the same real Beverly Boulevard office, not a separate branch on Wilshire Boulevard. Use your exact starting point in the directions link and confirm the documents before you leave. If your case requires DS-11 acceptance, that authorized appearance must be arranged separately from a private photo or document-review visit.

The State Department’s photo guidance explains the U.S. passport size, background and appearance requirements. A foreign visa can use different specifications, so identify the country and application type when arranging a photo session. State Department passport photo requirements.

Match the photo to the document you are applying for

For a U.S. passport, a photo is one component of the application, not evidence that the application has been accepted. Tell us if you need a printed photo for a paper application or an image for an eligible online process. Do not use filters, beauty retouching or artificial changes to make an unsuitable image look compliant. We can discuss a new photo when the existing one has a background, lighting or positioning problem.

For babies and children, plan around both the photo and the application’s consent requirements. A child’s previous passport does not automatically qualify for an adult renewal. Bring the child’s age and travel date into the initial call so we can explain what preparation is needed before you coordinate the parents’ attendance or an acceptance appointment. Photo preparation cannot replace those requirements.

For a China visa, start with the purpose of the trip and the relevant upload requirements. A photograph made for a U.S. passport may not match the China application format. We can help review the application materials, including passport details and supporting documents, before submission. Online preliminary review and the consulate’s final decision are separate stages; do not plan departure around the time needed to take the photo alone.

Questions before you arrange the visit

Can I arrange photos without ordering passport expediting?

Call to arrange the photo service you need and confirm the format and price. Tell us the country and application type, even if you are submitting the application yourself.

Is this a government passport agency?

24 Hour Passport & Visas is a private passport and visa service. The U.S. Department of State issues U.S. passports, and the relevant foreign authority decides visa applications. You can use direct government renewal instructions, the official acceptance facility locator or the Los Angeles Passport Agency’s appointment information when those routes suit your application.
