FAQ

Passport photo questions, Paramount edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Paramount?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from anywhere in Paramount using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and follow all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your photo meets these strict requirements.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, 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 photo requirements for babies and young children in Paramount are generally the same as for adults, including the 2x2 inch size. However, the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying on a plain white blanket without requiring them to look directly at the camera.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Paramount residents should apply well in advance of their planned departure date.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building. This agency is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
