FAQ

Passport photo questions, Santa Clarita edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Santa Clarita?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Santa Clarita home using your smartphone. Services like Perfect Passport ensure your selfie meets all State Department requirements before formatting it for you. This is often much faster than driving to a local pharmacy or post office.

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

The U.S. State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo paper, with your head measuring 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, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, 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 or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and lighting requirements are the same for infants, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about babies' expressions and eye contact. If you're photographing a newborn in California, it's often easiest to lay them on their back on a plain white blanket at home rather than taking them to a studio.

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. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much, the State Department will reject your application if you reuse the photo from your expiring passport.

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. If you are applying at a local Santa Clarita acceptance facility, remember to factor in mailing times to and from the passport processing center.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building on Wilshire Boulevard. This agency is strictly for travelers who have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days.
