FAQ

Passport photo questions, Wilmington edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Wilmington?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Wilmington as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the U.S. State Department.

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 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.

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 Wilmington. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for 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' poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the photo. Just make sure 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 when renewing your U.S. passport, whether you mail it from Wilmington or apply online. The State Department requires the photo 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 about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add extra time, so Delaware travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

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

The closest regional facility is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 30 miles away in Pennsylvania. This agency is only for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
