There are no requirements accept that you have to look a certain way and that it has to be 2x2" for US. I think you have to look to your left and semi expose your right ear.

I once took a passport picture in my Halloween costume and it was fine (it was one of those black Chinese Jet Li pajama thingy).

I took my picture for a student visa, but I talked to a bunch of people that I went to France with this past year and they all got accepted without problems taking their own passport photos. Some are pretty non-tech-savvy, so I figure if an idiot can do it, we should be fine.

so, non-tech savvy = idiot?

I have used this site for mine and several friends and never had a problem.

Alright, this site worked like a charm. It also gives you the option of creating an account on snapfish.com and applying a code to get a free passport (set of 6) picture printed and mailed to you. I didn't even have to enter a cc #.

Took less than 5 minutes of my time and it cost me $0.00.

Thanks!

Just paid $7 for CVS to do it right there, today, actually.

Me too, about a month ago. The headache is just not worth it, mosh.

I guess it was worth it then.
