FAQ

Passport photo questions, Meridian edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Meridian?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Meridian as long as it meets all U.S. State Department guidelines. You cannot submit a standard selfie, so it is best to have someone else take the picture or use a tripod. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your home photo is fully compliant before you submit it.

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. Digital photos must be high-resolution and cannot be digitally altered or retouched.

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 daily. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have a perfectly neutral expression, and their eyes can be closed. When photographing an infant in Meridian, laying them on a plain white sheet is often the easiest way to get a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo will cause your renewal application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. Expedited service is available for an additional federal fee and typically reduces the wait to two to three weeks. Processing times fluctuate, so Idaho travelers should apply well in advance of any planned international trips.

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

There is no regional U.S. Passport Agency located within 250 miles of Meridian, Idaho. The closest agencies for urgent, life-or-death travel needs are located in cities like Salt Lake City and Seattle. For routine applications and renewals, Meridian residents should use local acceptance facilities like the post office or apply by mail.
