FAQ

Passport photo questions, Garden Grove edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Garden Grove?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Garden Grove as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed.

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

The State Department requires your photo to 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 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 avoid glare and ensure facial recognition. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same for infants, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. For a baby in Garden Grove, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to take the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly, federal rules require a recent image to reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so California travelers should apply well in advance of their planned departure.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Garden Grove?

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building. This agency is reserved exclusively for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or those with urgent international travel within 14 days.
