    Default LTCF Photo: NOT a 'passport photo'

    So the LTCF application says a 'passport type photo'. Well, a passport photo sounds like it'll fit that description. The helpful girl at the Walgreens photo counter, however, informed me that they will NOT accept the 2' x 2' passport photo for an LTCF.

    Where can I get a 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' photo made for my LTCF application?
    Just because 'perfect' is impossible does not mean we should settle for 'broken'.

    And she knows this how?

    I just made an enlarged copy of my DL and cut out the photo.

    The license people at 10th & Spring Garden should have told you to go over to the Spaghetti Warehouse on the other side of 10th. They have a photo booth in there that takes the right sized photos (or did).

    From people coming back after paying 8$ for a passport photo and telling her how it couldn't be used for an LTCF, I assume. When I asked her about the size and said I wanted a 1 1/2' x 1 1/2' she immediately said "for a gun license right?"

    mmmmm....Spaghetti Warehouse...

    I've been doing a lot of reading on license info for other states....and i've noticed that those that require pictures range the size from 1"x1" to 2"x2"...

    I think they're just trying to force you to pay them to take the picture...

    2"x2" picture would be way to big for PA LTCF...just measured mine...its 7/8" x 1 1/8"....

    I had mine taken at the post office - the police accepted it with no problems.

    I had a passport photo taken at a Rite Aid and had no problem with it from the Philadelphia Gun Permit Dept. They put that picture in my file then took a digital picture which they used for the license itself.

    One more thing that varies drastically county-to-county. When I applied in Chester County a few months ago, they took the picture right in the sheriff's office. That was probably part of the $25 extra that I paid for the DL-size laminated license.
