FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bell Gardens edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bell Gardens?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Bell Gardens 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 guidelines.

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

The State Department requires your printed photo to be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and taken within the last six months.

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

No, glasses must be removed for all U.S. passport photos to prevent glare and ensure facial recognition. 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 core federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. If you are photographing a baby in Bell Gardens, laying them on a plain white sheet or draping a car seat with a white cloth works best.

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. Even if your appearance has not changed much, the State Department strictly requires a photo taken within the last six months.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times from California to the processing centers can add a few extra weeks, so apply well ahead of your trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Bell Gardens?

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and requires an appointment.
