FAQ

Passport photo questions, Santa Clara edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Santa Clara?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Santa Clara using your smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have a plain white background, good lighting, and follow all federal guidelines to avoid application delays.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, 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 or hats in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in California. The only exceptions are for documented medical conditions or religious head coverings, which require a signed statement.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The core State Department rules remain the same, but infants are allowed to have their eyes slightly closed or look away from the camera. Laying your baby on a plain white blanket at home is often much easier than taking them to a photo studio in Santa Clara.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. If you submit the same photo from your previous passport, your renewal application will be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes up to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times, so California residents should apply well in advance of their travel dates.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Santa Clara?

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 45 miles northwest of Santa Clara. You can only schedule an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
