FAQ

Passport photo questions, Ceres edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Ceres?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Ceres home. You just need a smartphone, good lighting, and a plain white or off-white background. Make sure to use a service that verifies your photo meets all federal guidelines before submitting it.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Ceres. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. No other person can be in the photo, so many Ceres parents find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new passport photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance has not changed much since your last application, using an old photo will cause your renewal to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Currently, routine passport processing takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Ceres residents should apply well in advance of their planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 95 miles northwest of Ceres. Keep in mind that this agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies.
