FAQ

Passport photo questions, Cathedral City edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Cathedral City?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Cathedral City as long as it meets all federal requirements. Services like Perfect Passport make it easy to snap a compliant photo from your living room. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white or off-white background, and someone else to take the picture.

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 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the 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. 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.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. For example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the picture. 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 photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport 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 typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so California residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Cathedral City?

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 120 miles west of Cathedral City. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
