FAQ

Passport photo questions, Irvine edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Irvine?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Irvine as long as you follow all federal guidelines. The State Department allows you to use a smartphone, provided the photo is not a selfie and meets all lighting and background rules.

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 and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them every day. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you provide a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical purposes.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and formatting rules remain the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses and expressions. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, but 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 your passport photo to 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 on each end of the process.
