FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bakersfield edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bakersfield?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Bakersfield home using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and use a service like Perfect Passport to verify it meets federal requirements. Selfies are not allowed, so have a friend or family member snap the picture for you.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be 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. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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

No, the U.S. State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in California. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows.

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 infants' poses. For example, a newborn photographed in Bakersfield does not need to have their eyes completely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket. However, 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, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the picture to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you haven't changed much since your last application, reusing an old photo will cause your renewal to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel in the mail from Bakersfield to a passport facility. If you need it faster, you must secure an appointment at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 110 miles south of Bakersfield. This agency handles expedited requests for citizens who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency. You cannot walk in; you must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment.
