FAQ

Passport photo questions, Middletown edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Middletown?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Middletown home. Just make sure you have good lighting, a plain white or off-white background, and someone else to snap the picture for you. Selfies are not permitted by the State Department.

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

Your printed photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Connecticut. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons.

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' expressions and eye contact. If you are photographing a baby in Middletown, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. 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, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your picture 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?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service is faster. These federal processing times do not include mailing times to and from the passport facility, so Middletown residents should plan ahead for international trips.

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

The closest regional facility is the Connecticut Passport Agency located in Stamford. You cannot simply walk in; you must schedule an appointment by phone, and they only assist travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent travel within 14 days.
