FAQ

Passport photo questions, Citrus Heights edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Citrus Heights?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from your Citrus Heights home as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are strictly prohibited.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality, uncreased photo paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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 must be removed for all U.S. passport photos to prevent glare and ensure facial recognition, 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 photo requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding their posture and expression. When photographing a baby in Citrus Heights, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet, ensuring no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

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 the 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 currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so California residents should factor in up to two additional weeks for transit when planning international travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Citrus Heights?

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 105 miles southwest of Citrus Heights. This agency is available by appointment only for travelers who have an international departure within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
