FAQ

Passport photo questions, Thornton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Thornton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Thornton as long as you follow 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 make this process easy by verifying your photo meets all government standards.

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 and printed in color on 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. Whether you print it at a Thornton pharmacy or order it online, the image must be high-resolution and unedited.

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

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily around Colorado. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements for babies and young children are the same as for adults. However, the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding infants' expressions and eye contact. When photographing your baby at home in Thornton, ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly. The State Department requires all passport photos to be taken within the last six months. Using an older photo will result in your application being 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 application is received by the State Department. Expedited service is available for an additional federal fee and generally takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so Thornton residents should plan their international trips accordingly.

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

The closest regional facility is the Colorado Passport Agency, located about 17 miles southeast in Aurora. This agency only accepts in-person appointments for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or those with urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, Thornton residents should use a local acceptance facility or renew by mail.
