FAQ

Passport photo questions, Sarasota edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Sarasota?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from anywhere in Sarasota as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken within the last six months against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your picture meets all State Department requirements before you submit it.

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

The State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, 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, 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 daily for religious purposes, or a doctor's statement for 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' expressions and head positions. No other person can be in the photo, so parents in Sarasota often find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture from above.

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 photo to be 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 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to four additional weeks for your application to arrive and your new passport to be returned to your Sarasota address.

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

The closest regional facility is the Miami Passport Agency, located about 220 miles southeast of Sarasota. This agency is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
