FAQ

Passport photo questions, Madison edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Madison?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Madison as long as it meets federal guidelines. You just need a friend or family member to take the picture against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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

Whether you print it at a local Madison pharmacy or order online, your passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be in color, 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' poses. A baby does not need to be looking directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the photo. Make sure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Whether you apply from an Alabama post office or by mail, routine processing currently takes about six to eight weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you request expedited service, you can expect to receive your passport in about two to three weeks.

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

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 190 miles east of Madison in neighboring Georgia. This agency is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for a life-or-death emergency.
