    Standard passport size...

    Easiest thing is to get some from a passport photo place...since I live in DC, that is right down the street and convenient for me. They usually do them in about 5-10 mins while you wait. While you are there, if you are considering any more certifications, you might want to get a few since your LDS will probably have you give them a pic each time you finish a cert and they are cheaper if you buy them all at once (i.e. 2 for $10, 4 for $15, etc.).

    and then.... ;)

    My passport picture is pretty small. I am actually just going to print the pics at home, hence the need for dimensions. I suppose I could just wait and see, but I have never been very patient in that respect.
    Thanks for answer the question though, totally appreciate it.

    check with your lds...

    Check with your LDS. I got passport photos for my OW cert, when I got to my OW dives, my instructor had brought along a camera and was charging $1 for the pictures ['cause of the film]. So it would have been cheaper. I forgot about it with my AOW course, but the instructor had a digital camera.

    When I got my AOW cert card though, they had just used my OW photo [since PADI had it in their records].

    Big Grin thanks again..

    I have a digital camera and some stock pictures (because im vain) so i just thought i would print them out on photo stock and save myself the minute fee..
    thanks for all the suggestions though. I think i got the size down and printed a few out, now I just have to decide which i like better...sooooo much better than that damn DMV mugshot.
