FAQ

Passport photo questions, Albany edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Albany?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Albany as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily find in your home or office. Just ensure the lighting is even and there are no shadows on your face or the background.

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

The State Department requires all U.S. passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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, eyeglasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Georgia. 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 rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. No other person can be in the photo, so Albany parents often find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image 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 service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Keep in mind that mailing times to and from the processing center can add up to two additional weeks to your total wait.

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

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 165 miles north of Albany. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
