FAQ

Passport photo questions, Martinez edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Martinez?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from your Martinez home as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the photo since selfies are strictly prohibited. Using a dedicated service ensures your DIY photo passes the State Department's strict biometric checks.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) 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 must remove your glasses for 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 note for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses and expressions. If you are photographing a baby in Martinez, you can lay them flat on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth, ensuring no other people or hands are in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires your photo to have been 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 several weeks, while expedited service can speed up the timeline for an additional federal fee. Because processing times fluctuate throughout the year, California travelers should check the official travel.state.gov website for the most up-to-date estimates before planning a trip.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 35 miles away at 450 Golden Gate Avenue. This agency is strictly for travelers who have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days, and appointments are required.
