FAQ

Passport photo questions, Simi Valley edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Simi Valley?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from your Simi Valley home as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the photo for you, as selfies are not permitted.

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

The State Department requires 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, glasses must be removed for all U.S. passport photos, 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 or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. No other person can be in the photo, so many Simi Valley parents find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture.

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 since your last passport was issued, federal rules require a recent image.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Simi Valley?

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located in the West L.A. Federal Building. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone in advance.
