FAQ

Passport photo questions, Gainesville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Gainesville?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Gainesville as long as it meets all U.S. Department of State requirements. You will need a white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the picture, as selfies are strictly prohibited.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Additionally, 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 every day. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you provide a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The federal requirements are largely the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying on a plain white blanket. No other people, hands, or props can be visible in the frame, which can make taking the photo at home easier than visiting a Gainesville pharmacy.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image 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 typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times, so Florida travelers should apply well in advance of their international departure dates.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agencies are located in Miami and Atlanta, both of which are over 300 miles away from Gainesville. Because these agencies require appointments and are strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, most residents should use a local acceptance facility instead.
