FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mountain View edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mountain View?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home or office in Mountain View. You just need a smartphone, good lighting, and a plain white background. Services like Perfect Passport can then format it to meet all federal guidelines.

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

The U.S. State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. 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 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 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 or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements for babies and children are the same, including the 2x2 inch size and white background. However, the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying down on a plain white blanket or in a car seat covered with a white sheet.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed much. The State Department requires your passport 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 about four to six weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add up to four additional weeks to the total turnaround time.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Mountain View?

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 40 miles northwest of Mountain View. This agency is only for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone.
