FAQ

Passport photo questions, Carol Stream edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Carol Stream?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Carol Stream as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You'll need a clear, well-lit photo taken against a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily do at home.

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

The State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 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, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Carol Stream. 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 infant photos. For example, a baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been 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. Mailing times can add extra days, so Illinois residents should apply well in advance of their planned departure.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Carol Stream?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown on Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency is only for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and an appointment is required.
