FAQ

Passport photo questions, Riverside edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Riverside?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Riverside as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod.

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 high-quality photo 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 permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily. 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 infants' poses. No other people can be in the photo, so Riverside parents often find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white blanket to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your 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 typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so California residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 55 miles west of Riverside. This agency is strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent travel within 14 days, and you must schedule an appointment by phone to visit.
