FAQ

Passport photo questions, Tuscaloosa edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Tuscaloosa?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Tuscaloosa as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport allow you to use your smartphone to capture a compliant image from home. Just ensure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Additionally, your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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 Tuscaloosa. 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. For example, a newborn photographed in Tuscaloosa does not need to be looking directly at the camera. However, 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 when renewing 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 reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing for a U.S. passport currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks. If you pay for expedited service, you can expect to receive your passport in 2 to 3 weeks, not including mailing times to and from Alabama.

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

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 200 miles east of Tuscaloosa. This agency is only for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or have a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
