FAQ

Passport photo questions, Anchorage edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Anchorage?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Anchorage as long as it meets strict federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting casts no shadows on your face. Selfies are not allowed, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the image.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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 for driving around Anchorage. 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 technical requirements for infant and child passport photos are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. No other person can be in the photo, so many Alaskan parents find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white blanket to take the picture.

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?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. Because mailing times from Alaska can add a few extra days, Anchorage residents should apply well in advance of their international travel dates.

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

There is no regional U.S. Passport Agency located within Alaska for urgent, last-minute travel needs. The closest official agency is the Seattle Passport Agency in Washington state, which requires an appointment and proof of a life-or-death emergency or urgent travel within 14 days.
