FAQ

Passport photo questions, Aurora edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Aurora?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Aurora as long as it meets federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your at-home picture is fully compliant before you print or submit it.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Illinois. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows or obscuring items.

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' poses and expressions. For example, a newborn photographed in Aurora does not need to have their eyes fully open, but no other person can be in the frame. Laying your baby on a plain white sheet is the easiest way to capture a compliant shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly. The State Department requires the photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current look.

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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process. If you are applying from Aurora, plan ahead and submit your application well before your travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 40 miles east of Aurora in downtown Chicago. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies. For standard processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or renew by mail.
