FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lathrop edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lathrop?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Lathrop as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Lathrop. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. For example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the photo. 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, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Currently, routine passport processing 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.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the San Francisco Passport Agency. It is located about 75 miles west of Lathrop and requires an appointment. You can only use this agency if you are traveling internationally within 14 days or have a life-or-death emergency.
