FAQ

Passport photo questions, San Gabriel edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in San Gabriel?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in San Gabriel 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. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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 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. High-resolution digital formats are required if you are eligible to renew online.

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. 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 statement for medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. A baby can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not entirely open. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you apply for or renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Using an older photo will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Processing times fluctuate throughout the year, but routine service generally takes six to eight weeks. Expedited service is usually available for an additional federal fee, reducing the wait to two to three weeks. California residents should always check the State Department website for the most current estimates before applying.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building. This agency does not accept walk-ins and is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or post office in the San Gabriel area.
