FAQ

Passport photo questions, Stamford edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Stamford?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Stamford as long as it meets all federal requirements. Whether you take it in your living room or outside on a sunny day, you must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. Whether you print it at a local Stamford pharmacy or order it online, the image must be printed in color 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Stamford. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 State Department rules are the same, but infants are allowed to have their eyes closed or partially open. When photographing a baby in Stamford, it is best to lay them on a plain white blanket or cover a car seat with a white sheet to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport, whether you mail it from a Stamford post office or renew online. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the passport processing centers can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time, so Stamford travelers should plan ahead.

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

The closest regional facility is the Connecticut Passport Agency, conveniently located right in Stamford on Canal Street. Keep in mind that this agency is exclusively for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies and requires a scheduled appointment.
