FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mission Viejo edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mission Viejo?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Mission Viejo home as long as it meets federal guidelines. 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 capture the image.

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

Your printed passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper without any digital alterations or filters. 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by hair or clothing.

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' expressions and head positions. When photographing a baby in Mission Viejo, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. 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 photo every time you apply for or renew your U.S. passport. The photo must have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add several weeks to the total process. California residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel to avoid delays.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Mission Viejo?

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 50 miles away in West L.A. This agency only accepts appointments for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in Orange County or renew by mail.
