FAQ

Passport photo questions, Atwater edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Atwater?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Atwater. You just need a smartphone, good lighting, and a white or off-white background to meet federal requirements. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your photo meets all State Department rules.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to 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 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 in Atwater. 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. Your baby does not need to look directly at the camera, but no other person can be in the photo. Laying your child on a plain white sheet at home in Atwater is often the easiest way to capture a compliant shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your photo to 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times from California to the processing centers can add extra days, so it is best to apply well ahead of your trip.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 120 miles northwest of Atwater. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
