FAQ

Passport photo questions, Compton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Compton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Compton as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You can use a smartphone or digital camera to capture the image against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can then format and verify your photo for compliance.

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 in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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 unless you have a signed doctor's note for medical reasons. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless worn daily for religious or medical reasons, and they must not obscure your face or cast shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and formatting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. A baby can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not entirely open. 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 that your passport photo be 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, which can add up to two weeks to the total door-to-door process.

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

The closest regional agency is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located at the West L.A. Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard. This facility is strictly for travelers with urgent international travel within 14 calendar days or a life-or-death emergency, and an appointment is required.
