FAQ

Passport photo questions, Gainesville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Gainesville?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Gainesville. The U.S. State Department allows you to take your own photo as long as it meets all federal requirements, such as having a plain white background and proper lighting. Services like Perfect Passport can help you ensure your selfie is fully compliant before printing.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches in size. The image must be printed on high-quality, glossy or matte 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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 federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. If you are photographing a baby in Gainesville, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to get the right background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated 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 about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. If you are applying at a local Gainesville acceptance facility, remember to factor in mailing times to and from the federal processing centers.

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

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 55 miles southwest of Gainesville. This State Department office is only for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and you must schedule an appointment in advance.
