FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lakeland edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lakeland?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Lakeland as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the shot.

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 in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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 allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or a less-than-neutral expression. When photographing a baby in Lakeland, it is often easiest to lay them on their back on a plain white blanket to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The photo must 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 typically takes several weeks, while expedited service can reduce the wait time for an additional federal fee. Because processing times fluctuate throughout the year, it is best to check the State Department's official website for the most current estimates before planning your trip.

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

The closest regional facility is the Miami Passport Agency, located about 240 miles southeast of Lakeland. This agency is only for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and you must schedule an appointment by phone in advance.
