IMPORTANT — USCIS no longer accepts self-submitted photos for Form I-485 or I-90 applications filed on or after December 12, 2025 (policy alert PA-2025-29). Your Green Card photo will be captured at the Application Support Center (ASC) biometric services appointment. Do not mail printed photos with your application.
Wearing glasses at the ASC appointment — remove all eyeglasses before your biometric photo is taken
Appearance significantly changed since filing — bring documentation if your appearance at the ASC appointment differs substantially from your application photos
Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use glossy or matte photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 2" × 2" (51 × 51 mm).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need to submit photos with my Green Card application?
No. Under USCIS policy alert PA-2025-29, effective December 12, 2025, USCIS no longer accepts self-submitted photos for Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status) or Form I-90 (Green Card renewal / replacement). Your Green Card photo is captured directly at the Application Support Center (ASC) during your biometric services appointment. Both forms require a new ASC photo every filing — USCIS does not reuse older photos for these.
Why did USCIS stop accepting self-submitted photos?
USCIS announced the change on December 12, 2025 to prevent immigration fraud through enhanced identity verification. Photos taken at the ASC are linked directly to your fingerprints and signature, making them harder to falsify than mailed-in printed photos.
Do I still need any kind of photo at all?
Not for your Form I-485 or I-90 filing itself. But many applicants still prepare a compliant 2×2 inch passport-style photo as a backup or for related purposes — for example, a future US passport application after naturalization, or a family archive of matching headshots. The requirements are identical to US passport photos.
What happens at my ASC appointment?
USCIS captures your fingerprints, signature, and photograph at the Application Support Center. You do not need to bring printed photos. The officer uses USCIS equipment, so the result is guaranteed to meet agency specs. Remove your glasses before the photo is taken.
Is this the same policy for I-90 (Green Card renewal) as for I-485 (new application)?
Yes — both are explicitly covered by PA-2025-29 and both require a fresh ASC photo every filing. USCIS does not reuse an old biometric photo for I-485 or I-90 applications.
What if I'm filing a form that was printed before December 2025 and still asks for 2 photos?
The policy supersedes older printed instructions. Do not include photos with your submission. Follow the current USCIS guidance on uscis.gov/i-485 or uscis.gov/i-90, not older printed form instructions.
