FAQ

Passport photo questions, Fort Smith edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Fort Smith?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Fort Smith as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed. Using a dedicated app or service can help verify that your home photo is fully 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 in size. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Digital photos used for online renewals must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows cast by clothing or hair.

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. A baby does not need to be looking directly at the camera, and it is acceptable if their eyes are not entirely open. You can lay your infant on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to capture the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo, even if your appearance has not changed much, will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about four to six weeks from the time the application is received by the agency. If you pay the additional government fee for expedited service, the processing time is typically reduced to two to three weeks. Fort Smith residents should apply well in advance of their trip to account for mailing times.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Fort Smith?

The closest regional agency is the Arkansas Passport Center, located about 130 miles away in Hot Springs. This facility is exclusively for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in the Fort Smith area or renew by mail.
