FAQ

Passport photo questions, Hoover edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Hoover?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Hoover as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even 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 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. When photographing a baby in Hoover, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to ensure no other people are in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, whether you mail it from Alabama or renew online. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes several weeks, while expedited service can shorten the wait for an additional fee. Because these timeframes do not include mailing times, Hoover residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Hoover?

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency in neighboring Georgia. This agency does not accept routine applications and is only available by appointment for travelers with urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies.
