FAQ

Passport photo questions, San Bruno edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in San Bruno?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in San Bruno as long as it meets all strict U.S. State Department requirements. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting to avoid shadows, and someone else to take the picture since selfies are not allowed. Using a service like Perfect Passport ensures your home photo is fully compliant before you print or submit it.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size and printed on high-quality color photo paper. Your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head, and digital photos used for online renewal must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in San Bruno. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's note for medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by the headwear.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The core State Department requirements are the same for infants and children, but the rules are slightly more relaxed regarding their posture and expression. For example, a baby's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and they can be photographed lying down on a plain white sheet. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the photo.

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. Even if your look hasn't changed much, reusing an old photo will cause your renewal application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

As of mid-2026, routine passport processing takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Keep in mind that mailing times can add up to two weeks on each end of the process. If you are applying from San Bruno, applying early or paying for expedited shipping can help ensure your passport arrives before your trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to San Bruno?

The closest regional agency is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located just a short drive north of San Bruno at 450 Golden Gate Avenue. This facility is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies. You cannot walk in for routine service; an appointment is strictly required.
