FAQ

Passport photo questions, Tulare edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Tulare?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Tulare as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your photo meets all State Department requirements.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size and printed on high-quality, matte or glossy photo paper. Your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. If you are submitting online, the digital image must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your U.S. passport photo. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons. Even with an exemption, your full face must remain visible without any shadows.

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. A baby's eyes do not need to be fully open, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth. No other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the photo.

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 your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Using an older photo will cause your application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. Keep in mind that mailing times to and from the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located about 175 miles south of Tulare. This agency is exclusively for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency. You cannot walk in for routine service; you must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment.
