FAQ

Passport photo questions, Decatur edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Decatur?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Decatur as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed.

What size and format does a U.S. passport photo need to be?

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size and printed in color on high-quality photo paper. Additionally, your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Decatur, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you renew your passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly. The State Department requires all passport photos to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times are not included in these estimates, so Decatur residents should apply well in advance of their travel dates.
