About Danielle Brown Photography
While a permanent US resident, Danielle experienced the challenge of getting a Canadian passport photo done outside of Canada. Unfortunately, there are not a ton of studios that understand how to photograph and successfully print a Jamaican passport or citizenship photo.
We understand the exact specifications for a successful Jamaican passport or citizenship photo submission. Danielle Brown Photography has successfully helped dozens of Atlanta-based Jamaican citizens with high-quality, technically accurate Jamaica passport and Jamaican citizenship photos.

Special notes about Jamaican Passport and Citizenship Photos
- The United States and Jamaica have COMPLETELY different specifications for passport photos. Pharmacies, mailing services and the United States post office will take your passport photo and provide a US passport format, not a photo formatted for Jamaica.
- Applicants of dark complexion should wear colored clothing and photographs should be taken against a white background. Applicants of light complexion should avoid wearing white clothing and should have photographs taken against a pastel shaded background. Danielle Brown Photography uses a sky blue background for individuals with light complexion and/or white/light grey hair. Please let us know when scheduling which background color should be used for your application.
- Exposed shoulders and chest must be avoided
- Bright coloured clothing is not recommended. Danielle Brown Photography recommends a dark, high-contrast color for shirts/tops in passport photos as a best-practice.
- The Jamaican passport office requires photos to be printed on commercial-grade photo paper. Photos printed at home or printed on heavy-weight paper will be rejected or fail your passport or citizenship application.
- Your Jamaican passport or citizenship photos may not be retouched or digitally altered in any way. Retouching, digitally altering backgrounds or clothing, etc. will fail your Jamaican passport or citizenship application or cause rejection.
- With all passport photos, make sure the photo is not bent, punctured, torn or creased in any way. Physical damage to your photos will result in application rejection.
Jamaica Passport Photos Atlanta | Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I pose/smile for a Jamaican passport (or citizenship) photo?
Danielle will instruct you how to pose. She will make sure your head and shoulders are correctly positioned and your expression is acceptable for a Jamaican passport or citizenship photo.
Q: Can I wear a hat or headwear in my photo?
Q: I wear glasses. Can I wear glasses in my Jamaica passport or citizenship photo?
A: While glasses are permitted for Jamaican passport photos, glasses must be photographed without glare or reflection. Heavy or thick eyeglass frames may be rejected by PICA. We generally recommend being photographed without glasses as much as possible. Tinted lenses or prescription sunglasses will cause your passport photo to be rejected.
Q: How much do Jamaican passport or citizenship photos cost?
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
Q: Do I need to make an appointment or do you accept walk-ins?
Q: I have dual citizenship with Jamaica and the US (or another country). Can I use the same photo for another country’s passport or a visa?
Q: I need extra photos from my session. Can I get additional photos printed?
Based upon feedback from previous Jamaican clients, Danielle Brown Photography recommends requesting an additional set (+$5).
Q: I'm not sure if I will do a physical application or submit my application digitally. Is there an extra charge for digital photos? If I don't get physical prints, can I get a discount?
A: Your passport photo fee ($39.95+tax) includes both physical prints and digital images for an online submission. There is no additional fee for both formats or discount if you do not get prints. Please ask for your digital images to be emailed to you or sent via another digital delivery mechanism, such as sending files via Dropbox or Google Drive.
Side note about uploading digital files for your passport application: to avoid a device/cloud storage encoding any additional information on your digital file, Danielle Brown Photography recommends downloading your file (from email or cloud storage) to a local folder and then uploading your file from desktop/local storage.
Q: How long does a passport photo appointment usually take?
A: Most clients coming in for Jamaican passport or Jamaica citizenship photos are usually done in 20 minutes per person.
Q: I need extra photos from my session. Can I get additional photos printed?
A: Absolutely. Printing additional sets are available at $5 per additional set. Jamaica requires two (2) passport or citizenship application photos for a standard submission.
