FAQ

Passport photo questions, Modesto edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Modesto?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Modesto as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture or use a tripod. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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

Your passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. The head must measure 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, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Modesto. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows.

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. When taking a baby's passport photo in Modesto, ensure no other person is in the frame and the baby's eyes are open. You can lay the infant on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet for the background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, compliant photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to be taken within the last six months to accurately show how you look right now. Reusing an old photo will result in your renewal application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel in the mail from Modesto to the passport facility. If you need a passport faster, you may need to secure an urgent travel appointment.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 90 miles west of Modesto. This agency does not accept walk-ins and is strictly for travelers experiencing life-or-death emergencies or those with urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or renew by mail.
