FAQ

Passport photo questions, Opelika edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Opelika?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Opelika as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily find in your home or office, and have someone else take the picture. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department, so grab a friend or use a tripod.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and feature your head centered, measuring between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels if you are applying online.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Opelika. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by hair or clothing.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. For a baby's photo, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. No other people, including parents holding the child, can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, recent photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Even if you look exactly the same as you did in your old passport, reusing the previous photo will result in your application being rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service is faster for an additional federal fee. Mailing times from Alabama to the federal processing centers can add up to four extra weeks to the total turnaround time. If you have immediate travel plans, you may need to secure an appointment at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility to Opelika is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 105 miles away in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. This agency does not accept walk-ins and is strictly for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in Lee County or renew by mail.
