Passport photo online for renewal vs. new application in the USA

[TrevorPlay]

Are the photo requirements for a USA passport renewal submitted through a Passport photo online service different from those required for a first-time, in-person application?

For the USA, the core photo requirements (size, background, expression) are identical for both renewal and new applications. However, renewal often accepts a digital upload, while a first-time application usually requires a physical print. Our passport photo online service provides both options.
