FAQ

Passport photo questions, Calumet City edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Calumet City?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Calumet City as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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 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, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Calumet City. 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' expressions and head positions. When photographing a baby in Calumet City, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth, ensuring no other people or hands are in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, the State Department requires a recent image to reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing for a U.S. passport currently takes about six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Illinois residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Calumet City?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown on Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency is exclusively for travelers who have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days, and you must schedule an appointment by phone to enter.
