FAQ

Passport photo questions, Surprise edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Surprise?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Surprise as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You just need a friend or family member to take the picture against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department, so make sure someone else holds the camera.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality 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, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Surprise. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. If you are photographing a baby in your Surprise home, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket to ensure their head is supported. 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, compliant photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last Arizona driver's license or passport photo, using an older image will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times to and from the processing centers, so Arizona residents should plan accordingly before booking international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Western Passport Center, located about 140 miles away in Tucson. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you can use a local acceptance facility right here in Surprise.
