FAQ

Passport photo questions, Sacramento edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Sacramento?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Sacramento as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed.

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 in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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 forbidden 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions. When photographing your baby in Sacramento, ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame, and lay them on a plain white blanket if needed.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you renew your passport. The State Department requires your picture to 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 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on either end of the process.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the San Francisco Passport Agency. This location is strictly by appointment only and is reserved for travelers who need a passport for international travel within 14 calendar days.
