FAQ

Passport photo questions, Petaluma edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Petaluma?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home or office in Petaluma. As long as you follow federal guidelines for lighting, background, and facial expression, a smartphone photo is perfectly acceptable. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify that your DIY shot meets all official requirements.

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

Your printed passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) 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 your chin to the top of your 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 every day. 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant expressions and eye contact. No other person can be in the photo, so it's often easiest to lay your baby on their back on a plain white sheet at home in Petaluma.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The photo must 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel through the mail from California to the processing center.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located roughly 40 miles south of Petaluma. You cannot simply walk in; you must schedule an appointment by phone, and they only assist travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
