FAQ

Passport photo questions, Dover edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Dover?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Dover as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and a friend or tripod to take the picture, as selfies are not permitted.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. It 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 your chin to the top of your head.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, glasses must be removed for all U.S. passport photos to prevent glare and ensure your eyes are fully visible. 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and posture. For babies, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to take the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the 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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Dover residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 80 miles north of Dover. You can only make an appointment there if you have a life-or-death emergency or are traveling internationally within 14 calendar days.
