FAQ

Passport photo questions, Sunnyvale edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Sunnyvale?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Sunnyvale using a smartphone, provided it meets all federal requirements. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your DIY photo has the correct lighting, background, and dimensions before you submit it.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. It needs to be a high-resolution color photo printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, with your head measuring 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and lighting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. For example, a newborn's eyes don't have to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo.

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 the photo to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Currently, routine passport processing 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 additional weeks on each end of the process.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Sunnyvale?

The closest regional facility is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 40 miles northwest of Sunnyvale. You can only make an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 calendar days or a life-or-death emergency.
