FAQ

Passport photo questions, Cerritos edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Cerritos?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Cerritos using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your image meets all federal guidelines before you submit it. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white background.

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

A U.S. passport photo must 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. 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 eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must remain visible without 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 infant poses. For example, a baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have their eyes fully open. You can lay your child on a plain white sheet in your Cerritos home to easily capture the shot.

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 your photo to reflect your current appearance and be taken within the last six months. Reusing an old photo will cause your renewal application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay the federal fee for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several additional weeks to your total wait.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 30 miles away in the West L.A. Federal Building. This agency does not accept walk-ins and is reserved exclusively for travelers with urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For standard processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in the Cerritos area.
