Notes
For the paper renewal
This photo is for Jordan’s paper passport renewal. The 2026 application asks holders of a valid Jordanian smart ID to renew online instead, and says an online applicant doesn’t bring the photo to the Embassy.
For an online renewal, the Embassy’s announcement asks you to mail your passport and a return envelope, by UPS or USPS only, once the renewal is approved. A link to pay online follows, and a money order isn’t accepted.
Without a smart ID, you apply on paper at the Embassy in Washington or by mail, USPS or UPS only, with two recent photos. The form’s photo box asks for a recent color photo, 2 × 2 in, on a white background. Write your name on the back of each photo.

What we check, and what we can’t
On your device, we measure the head size and where it sits, the eye line, the wall behind you, the light on your face, the pose and the sharpness against this rule, and we crop the photo to its size. We level, resize and crop it, and nothing else.
We can’t tell how recent the photo is, whether it still looks like you, or what the office’s own reviewer will see on the day. The passport office decides whether to accept it.
Why a real photo matters
The Jordanian passport renewal rule on editing
Jordan’s 2026 passport renewal application doesn’t mention editing.
Start with your original camera photo. Check the document’s rules, including whether your head fits the 2 × 2 in print Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs asks for.
We don’t generate your photo. We level, scale and crop your original pixels to 2 × 2 in, then show you the head height and the margins before you pay.
Our guides cover AI and passport photos and changing a photo’s background.

Changes to this page’s rule
- Document pages now show a short list of key facts, each naming its source authority and record date, before the complete rule table.
- Photo for USCIS forms: the page now says first that USCIS will not use or reuse self-submitted photographs (Policy Alert PA-2025-29, December 12, 2025), and the editing rule now uses the form instructions’ own words (unmounted and unretouched). Both come from the September 28 check; they were missing from the page.
- Added 6 documents (Saudi tourist eVisa, Egyptian passport, Jordanian passport renewal, Philippine dual citizenship, Lebanese passport extension, UAE passport), each checked against its government’s pages.

Questions
What size is a Jordanian passport renewal photo?
The printed photo is 2 × 2 in (50.8 × 50.8 mm). Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes no head size, so we use the U.S. range of 25.4–34.9 mm (1–1 3/8 in), chin to top of hair. The background must be white.
Can I use ChatGPT or an AI app for my Jordanian passport renewal photo?
Start with an original camera photo, rather than a generated or retouched portrait. Jordan’s 2026 passport renewal application doesn’t mention editing. Confirm permitted edits with the issuing authority; a chatbot’s answer does not establish acceptance. We only level, scale and crop the photo you take.
Can I wear glasses in a Jordanian passport renewal photo?
Take them off. Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn’t say whether glasses are allowed, and a photo without them can’t fail on glare.
What do I get for $9.95?
You get printable 4 × 6 in and 5 × 7 in sheets you can print at any drugstore. The application asks for 2 photos.
Where do I get my files?
On your order page after you pay, with no account to make.
