FAQ

Passport photo questions, Newport Beach edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Newport Beach?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Newport Beach as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily find in a well-lit room at home. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your DIY photo is perfectly formatted for State Department approval.

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 in size. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality 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. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in California. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows cast by clothing or hair.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have their eyes completely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the shot. No other person, including parents, can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your picture to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you look the same as you did in your old passport, reusing an older photo will cause your application to be 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 for an additional federal fee. Mailing times from California can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time. If you have an urgent trip, you may qualify for an emergency appointment at a regional agency.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Newport Beach?

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 50 miles away in the West L.A. Federal Building. This agency is exclusively for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. You cannot walk in for routine service; appointments must be scheduled in advance by calling the National Passport Information Center.
