FAQ

Passport photo questions, Madera edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Madera?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo at home in Madera using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting and a plain white background, and use a service to verify it meets all State Department requirements.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. It must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, with your head measuring 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 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 size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses and expressions. To photograph a baby, it is best to lay them on their back on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth, ensuring no one else is in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image 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. If you need it faster, you can request expedited service, which takes 2 to 3 weeks, though these estimates do not include mailing times.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 160 miles away. It only accepts appointments for life-or-death emergencies or international travel within 14 days.
