FAQ

Passport photo questions, El Mirage edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in El Mirage?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in El Mirage as long as it meets all U.S. Department of State requirements. You cannot submit a standard selfie, so it is best to have someone else take the picture or use a tripod. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your home photo is perfectly cropped and compliant.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and feature a plain white or off-white background.

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

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Arizona. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. When photographing a baby in El Mirage, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to ensure a compliant background.

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 photo must have been 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 from the time the State Department receives your application. Expedited service is available for an additional federal fee and typically reduces the processing time to two to three weeks.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to El Mirage?

The closest regional agency for El Mirage residents is the Western Passport Center, located about 135 miles away in Tucson. This facility is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or have a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
