FAQ

Passport photo questions, Scottsdale edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Scottsdale?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Scottsdale as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You can use a smartphone or digital camera, but you must have someone else take the photo for you, as selfies are not permitted. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your homemade photo is perfectly compliant.

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 (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. The head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.

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 Scottsdale. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. For example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be completely open, and it is acceptable if the infant is lying on a plain white blanket. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much while living in Scottsdale, an older photo will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, not including the time it takes for mail delivery. Expedited service is available for an additional fee if you need your passport faster. Keep in mind that mailing times can add up to two additional weeks on each end of the process.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Western Passport Center, located in Tucson, Arizona. This agency handles expedited requests for travelers who have an international departure within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For standard processing, you can simply use one of the many local acceptance facilities right here in Scottsdale.
