10-Year Canadian Passport Photos Available

Secure, Convenient 10-Year ePassport Available Now

Calgary, July 2, 2013 — Canada's new and more secure 10-year ePassport is now available to Canadians, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.
The new, 10-year ePassport provides more convenience for Canadians, and facilitates safe, secure travel which, in turn, helps create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity for Canadians, said Minister Kenney. The Canadian passport is not only a privilege of citizenship, but a reflection of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

ePassports are the international norm in travel documents. They contain technologically-advanced features, including an embedded electronic chip, to prevent fraud. The chip stores the same personal information as that which is recorded on the second page of the passport (except for the signature) as well as a photo and a digital security feature that proves that the passport was issued by the Government of Canada. To combat fraud, once the personal information is stored on the chip, it cannot be modified without invalidating the passport.

Tampa Passport Photo Needs are on the Increase

In 2012, there were over 13.1 million US passports issued, up from 12.6 million in 2011. Quite a number of them (joking just a bit here), went to Newsome's Studio of Photography in Carrollwood for their passport picture. Newsome's Studio, located in Cypress Point Office Park at 10012 N. Dale Mabry Hwy. in Tampa has been providing US travelers and foreigners alike, with incredibly high quality passport photos, guaranteed to pass muster with the 'reject stamp wielding goblins' at the passport office.

Why waste time and money on a photo that will likely be sent right back to you with a rejection letter. We've seen hundreds of them. People bring them in, along with the list of what's wrong with the image. Usually, it's out of focus, printed on the wrong paper, over exposed, and when it comes to passports from a foreign country... it ALWAYS the wrong size. US is pretty standard as a 2x2 inch, but nearly every other country on the planet measures by the metric system, and they all have different specs for their passport photos.

Go to Newsome's Studio, where experience with foreign passports are a common practice and our record of images being accepted is near perfect (notice I said "near?" We had a Canadian photo rejected once because they said she looked like she was smiling. She wasn't smiling, but she did have a dimple. Ask me how I resolved that and I'll knock $3 off your passport photo!).

Canadian Passport Photos, Tampa

Finding someone who can provide a proper Canadian passport photo in Tampa is not as easy as you might think. Most drug stores will/can only supply you with a 2x2 inch image, but the Canadian passport photo is measured in millimeters (50mmx70mm) which translates roughly to 2x2 3/4 inches. The head size is also very specific for the Canadian passport photo and if incorrect, can cause your passport to be rejected, slowing down your application/renewal process, and possibly costing you more money than necessary.

To insure your passport photo is correct, call Tampa's expert in foreign passport photos, Newsome's Studio of Photography, Inc., located at 10012 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa (Carrollowood in Cypress Point Office Park).

Call 813-968-2810 for an appointment for fast (less than ten minutes), and correct Canadian passport photos.

Chinese Passport Photos in Tampa
