Picture dimensions for N-400

[miamiparis 0]

Today, I went to a store to get my 2 passport-style color photographs.

Then I read the requirements for the N-400 application. It says "Head height should measure 1” to 1 3/8” from top of hair to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8” to 1 3/8” from bottom of photo".

I took a ruler to measure my photograph and found out that the head height measures 1 4/8" and the eye height is 1".

So do I have to go back to the store and request to take new photographs more far and lower ?

If you received a digital copy of it I would take it to http://travel.state.gov/visa/visaphotoreq/visaphotoreq_5334.html and scroll down to "Do you want to take the photo yourself?" and click on the "Start Photo Tool". This will allow you to crop and change the photo to the requirements, and then save it. Afterward you could upload it to walmart or other services like it and have the photo printed this way. Other than that if you are uncomfortable with sending the photo the way it is now then you should definitely take it back and have it redone. Peace of mind is better than being worried if a few 1/8s will cause a problem.
