FAQ

Passport photo questions, San Juan Capistrano edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in San Juan Capistrano?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in San Juan Capistrano using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and use a service to verify it meets all federal requirements.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to 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.

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 California. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes 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 and eye contact. If you are photographing a baby in San Juan Capistrano, you can lay them on their back on a plain white sheet to get a compliant shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your picture 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 currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks for an additional fee. Mailing times from California can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround, so it is best to apply well before your trip.
