FAQ

Passport photo questions, Burlingame edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Burlingame?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from anywhere in Burlingame as long as it meets federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting casts no shadows on your face. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the shot.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) 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.

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

No, glasses have been banned in U.S. passport photos since 2016, even if you wear them daily in California. 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 infants' expressions and head positions. When photographing a baby in Burlingame, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a white sheet over their car seat to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly, federal rules require a recent image to reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing currently takes about six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing centers can add several additional weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 16 miles north of Burlingame. This agency is strictly for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
