FAQ

Passport photo questions, Hawthorne edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Hawthorne?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Hawthorne as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which is easy to find in most homes or apartments. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your selfie is perfectly cropped and compliant.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 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 3/8 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, even if you wear them daily in Hawthorne. 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 size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. When photographing your baby in Hawthorne, ensure no other people are in the frame and that the child's eyes are open. Laying them on a plain white blanket often works best.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed much. The State Department requires the photo to have been taken within the last six months to accurately 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 from California can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time, so Hawthorne travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard. This agency is reserved exclusively for travelers with urgent international departures within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies. You must call the national scheduling line to secure an appointment before visiting.
