FAQ

Passport photo questions, West Haven edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in West Haven?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in West Haven as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture or use a tripod.

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

Whether you print it in West Haven or order it online, a U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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.

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 in West Haven. 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When photographing a baby in West Haven, you can lay them on a plain white blanket, ensuring 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 taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last Connecticut passport was issued, an older photo will cause your application to be rejected.

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 timeframes do not include mailing times to and from the federal processing centers, so West Haven residents should plan their travel accordingly.

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

The closest regional facility to West Haven is the Connecticut Passport Agency located in Stamford. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
