FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bristol edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bristol?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home or office in Bristol. You just need a smartphone, good lighting, and a plain white or off-white background to meet federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your DIY photo is fully compliant before you submit your application.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) 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. Digital images must be high-resolution and cannot be digitally altered or filtered.

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 Bristol. 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 obscuring items.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses and expressions. When photographing your baby in Bristol, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth. Ensure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the final shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated 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 reflect your current appearance. Even if you haven't changed much since your last application, reusing an old photo will cause your renewal to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

As of May 2026, routine passport processing takes about 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. If you are applying from Bristol, it is highly recommended to submit your application well in advance of your planned travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the Connecticut Passport Agency, located at 850 Canal Street in Stamford. It is about a 65-mile drive southwest from Bristol, accessible via I-95 or the Metro-North Railroad. Keep in mind that this agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and appointments are mandatory.
