Can anyone recommend where to get CDN passport photos done in the Nashville TN area? I am tired of being looked at like I have 2 horns when I say that the Cdn specs are different than the US passport specs!

Try Sears Portrait Studio. Every one of them has the information on how to do them. That's where I had mine done, easy peasy, and approved first time by Passport Canada.

I am a Canadian now living in Jackson, New Jersey. I am trying to get a new passport. All is well except for the issue of the passport photos. Apparently, it is an impossibility to get correct photos done. I've had them done twice now (once by USPS and once by UPS) and both times the pictures were useless. The only two Ritz Camera locations close to me are now closed. So that is no longer an option for me. Does anyone know where I can go in New Jersey to get Canadian passport photos taken? Please help. Thanks so much.

It is indeed difficult to get acceptable pics here in US.

But, please clarify something: you stated "I've had them done twice now (once by USPS and once by UPS)". Surely, you didn't get pics taken by the these shippers. You may have sent the pics to the Passport office by these means, but the photos would have been taken by a photographer, not a postal worker or brown guy, right?

I've never heard of USPS or UPS taking pictues, so if you did use them to take pictures, you were pretty muched doomed to failure.

What a weird way of kicking someone when they're down. Yes, I indeed had my pictures taken at UPS and at USPS. As I am not an idiot I do know the difference between putting something in the mail and standing against a wall to have my picture taken. Both places take them right there on the spot. The USPS guy had no clue what he was doing, the pictures came out like crap. At UPS the pictures met USA standards but not Canadian as the specs are different. Does anyone else have any suggestions. I really need help. I need to get them within the next couple days. Please help.

One can look in the yellow pages and many small mom/pop camera shops takes pictures to whatever size one requires. Thats how I found mine in the DC area, did not take long at all. Some have mentioned that Sears can do it as well. Print out the exact photo requirements and take it with you. Google works wonders too. I'm sure it wouldnt take too long to phone around and find someone

Thank you for your help. I called Sears and they stated that they have the Canadian template for photos. Once I get them done I'll know for sure if they meet the Canadian photo specs. Lets hope.

Deeter, you yourself said that the brown guy didn't know what he was doing. Rather than "hoping", you now are being more demanding and astute, and will have good success.

All the best.
