FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mobile edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mobile?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home or office in Mobile. As long as you have a smartphone and a plain white background, services like Perfect Passport can help you format it to meet federal guidelines. Just make sure you have good lighting and someone else to snap the picture, as selfies are not permitted.

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

The U.S. State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo paper, or submitted as a high-resolution JPEG if you are using an eligible online renewal system. 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 in Mobile. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. When photographing a baby in Alabama, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth. The child's eyes should be open, and no other people or hands can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much since your last Alabama driver's license or passport photo, an older picture will cause your application to be rejected.

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 for an additional federal fee. These processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel by mail from Mobile to a passport processing center. If you have urgent travel plans, you should apply as early as possible.

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

The closest regional facility to Mobile is the New Orleans Passport Center, located about 145 miles away in Louisiana. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in Mobile County instead.
