FAQ

Passport photo questions, Whittier edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Whittier?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Whittier home. The U.S. State Department allows applicants to submit their own photos as long as they meet all official guidelines. Using a smartphone and a plain white wall, you can capture a compliant image without driving to a local pharmacy.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and feature a plain white or off-white background. Your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your hair.

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 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. Your full face must be visible without any shadows or glare.

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 infant poses. A baby can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not completely open. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you look the same as you did in your old passport, reusing a previous photo will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround. If you are applying at a Whittier acceptance facility, it is best to submit your application well ahead of your planned travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the Los Angeles Passport Agency, located on Wilshire Boulevard. This agency is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies. You cannot walk in for routine service; you must call the national hotline to schedule an appointment.
