FAQ

Passport photo questions, New Haven edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in New Haven?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in New Haven as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the shot.

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 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. Whether you print it in New Haven or order it online, these federal dimensions are strictly enforced.

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 New Haven. 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 obstructions.

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 head positions. When photographing your baby in New Haven, ensure no other people or hands are in the frame. You can lay the infant on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet for the background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, the State Department requires a recent image. You can easily get a new photo at a New Haven pharmacy or take one from home.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These federal processing times do not include mailing times to and from the passport facility. If you are applying at a New Haven acceptance facility, it is best to submit your application well ahead of your planned travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to New Haven?

The closest regional facility is the Connecticut Passport Agency, located about 40 miles away in Stamford. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies. For routine processing, you should use a standard passport acceptance facility or post office in the New Haven area.
