Studio Appointments
The Public Affairs Office provides appointment-only sessions for official, government-use studio portraits and government passports. Walk-ins are not permitted effective November 1, 2022.
Studio hours are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9a.m. to 3p.m. Regular customer service hours remain Monday-Friday 7:30a.m to 4:30p.m.
Per AFMAN35-101, Section 9. Additional Considerations and the 341 MW/PA Employment and Prioritization Plan- Studio services are official-use only:
- Leadership at the squadron-level and above (commander, deputy commander, senior enlisted leader, and first sergeant)
- Group/wing quarterly and annual awards winners
- Special duty assignments
- Passports
Support will also be provided to members requiring credentials:
- OSI agents
- K-9s
- Limited helping agents (i.e. ADC, SARC, etc.)
We do not take photos for:
- Squadron-level awards
- Award nominees
- Unofficial biographies
- Retirements
Photos will not be taken or provided for personal use, which includes retirement.
Written justification will be required when booking appointment. Appointments with vague or unqualified justification will be denied. Justification for official photos does not include potentially needing one in the future; photos will only be taken for current requirements such as package applications or command walls.
Portrait Justification Example: "I am the 341st Missile Wing Airman of the Year and require an official photo to be included in the 341 MW 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year package."
Full Length Portrait Justification Example: "I am required to take a full length studio photo - from the front, side, and back - as part of my Military Training Instructor application package."
Passport Justification Example: "My spouse and I are PCSing to RAF Lakenheath in the fall and each require two passport photos to obtain our official passports."
Special Credentials Official Photo Justification: "According to my career field policy (please include verbiage), I am required to display an official photo of myself in the area where I work."
Appointments for all studio services can be scheduled using the link below. Per December 2024 update: The site link currently works with commercial internet and mobile devices, but the site may be blocked by network filters. The best procedure is to request the one-time passcode using a personal email account, input the code sent to that email address, and then change the contact email to a .mil, .edu or .gov address before requesting a studio or passport photo appointment. You will be unable to request any studio services if you use a personal email address (i.e. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc). Public Affairs services other than studio can be requested using the personal email address.
**Appointment requests are not automatically approved and must be reviewed after submission -- please do not show up without receiving a secondary follow-up confirmation email.**
