Sure, you don't have to provide that information, but there's really no good reason not to, particularly when the purpose of giving that information is for your personal and sole benefit. It's not as if the Department of State will use it to send junk mail to your house, or spam your email address with wiener enlargement messages.

Your point makes sense too. But in today’s world where we are moving and changing our phones, emails, employers etc so often. For example I have changed apt a few times along with the phone number.

Have to take your application into an agent when doing it locally, like the post office or city clerk, DOS has a list in their site, have to take an oath that all information is correct and will have your form carefully looked over, but they cannot verify if your certificate of citizenship is valid, the original has to be sent in. If you really want a US passport, will comply with all of the requests.

Sure, but I do not have to answer to questions that are considered optional… I do not think e-mail, telephone, employer, travel plans are necessary in processing passport app.

Why do they requesting all of these information?

Is it ok to not provide additional information on application for passport such as telephone (home, cell, work), employer, e-mail address, emergency contact, travel plans…

I stand corrected. It looks that on of the calculators accepts format 1 21/32.

Her actual PP photo is 1 21/32" high by 1 3/8" wide, that is 42 mm high by 35 mm wide, while the distance from the bottom of her chin to the top of her head is identical to the photo we submitted, that is not our photo, had to be electronically reproduced. Colors are off tint and over saturated, bunch of fruit has been super imposed over her neck and a bunch of light blue streaks, wife was horrified.

Thank you NickD for your guidance. I appreciate your time taking measurements.

How it is possible that your photo measurements are different from Flames? The gray box behind photo should be the same in every new e-passport, correct?

Thank you Flames. But how can I input 1 21/32" in conversation calculator?!

Are you kidding me? Google it mate...don't be so lazy!!!

Ha, ha no I am not lazy. I can convert 1.6 in to cm, but I can not convert 1 2/3 to cm since I have no idea how to input it. No offense to anyone using inch but it is so complex.

Length is 1.6 inches,height is just under 2"

Flames you are from Canada? Great! Can you please convert your size to cm? I just can’t handle inches.

Ensure u submit what THEY ASK for.

Flames, your original photo is not scaled, just trimmed on both sides, correct? Of course, I will submit 2x2 but just want to make sure how photo is going to look once it is trimmed on sides.

So it would be length: 1 1/3 inch; height: 1 2/3 inch. Strange if yours is really so much different. I could see it with the twins passports, which were done at the US Embassy in Ireland, but my husband had his done several years ago in Arkansas...

Thank you guys! This measurement is from new e-passport, correct? And you have measured grey box (behind photo), correct? Funny, the grey box should be the same size.

Just got my passport today ( 9 days) length is 1.6 inches,height is just under 2" I can see they have trimmed it, so measurements are going to vary. Ensure u submit what THEY ASK for.

Thank you guys! This measurement is from new e-passport, correct? And you have measured grey box (behind photo), correct? Funny, the grey box should be the same size.

By the way, congratulations! It must feel nice to have it in hand

Don't worry about how it's going to look.

I appreciate your input. Hope someone will measure and provide this info. Thanks. By the way, I have seen what have they done with my friends photo and that is way I am trying to not make same mistake.

Can you please measure the actual size of photograph area in passport?

I am aware that we need to submit 2 x 2 in photo for passport – but the scanned image in passport is trimmed on sides. I want to make sure that my head is not too big – or too small. I am aware of all gudelines and just want to be sure how photo it is going to look. Thank you.
