FAQ

Passport photo questions, Pacifica edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Pacifica?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Pacifica using a smartphone. Just ensure you follow all federal guidelines for lighting and background, or use a dedicated service to verify compliance.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. 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 glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in California. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' facial expressions and head positions. When photographing your baby in Pacifica, ensure no other person is in the frame, which can be done by laying the infant on a plain white sheet.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. Even if your appearance has not changed much since your last application, federal rules require a recent picture.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 15 miles north of Pacifica. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies.
