FAQ

Passport photo questions, Los Angeles edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Los Angeles?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Los Angeles as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not allowed, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the picture.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). 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 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 California. 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. A baby's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the picture. Ensure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are 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 the photo to be taken within the last six months to 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 estimates 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 Los Angeles?

The closest facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard. This agency is exclusively for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment in advance.
