passport photos

[number30]

How many photos are needed for passport and passport card? Is it 2 or 2+2?

2 only.

2 photos of size 2x2 inches.

why on earth do they require two photos these days? they digitally scan all document first thing when they received the application -- doesn't make sense to me.

I sent in 2 photos as required with my passport application. They returned one back to me in the mail.

That happened to us too - sort of. My wife and son got their extra photos back in the mail. Me and my daughter did not get any photos back. We submitted 2 photographs per applicant.

My wife jokes that they will be using mine for America's Most Wanted.
