FAQ

Passport photo questions, San Leandro edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in San Leandro?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in San Leandro using a smartphone or digital camera. You just need a friend or family member to take the picture against a plain white background, ensuring it meets all federal lighting and sizing rules. 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 the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in San Leandro. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical purposes.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The federal sizing and background rules are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. For example, a newborn photographed in San Leandro can be laid on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if their eyes are not entirely open.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to be 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 typically takes six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel in the mail from California to a passport center.

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

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 20 miles away. You can only visit this agency if you secure an appointment for a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days.
