FAQ

Passport photo questions, Carpentersville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Carpentersville?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Carpentersville as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify that your homemade photo is fully compliant before you submit it.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. Your head must measure between 1 and 1.37 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and free of any digital alterations.

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 for vision correction. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. If a head covering is permitted, it must not cast any shadows or obscure your face.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules remain the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have a completely neutral expression, and their eyes can be partially closed. However, no other people, hands, or props can be visible in the frame with the child.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your picture to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo, even if your appearance hasn't changed much, will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

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 for an additional fee. These timeframes only cover the processing period at the agency and do not include mailing times. If you are applying from Carpentersville, you should factor in up to two extra weeks for mail delivery on each end.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 44 miles southeast of Carpentersville. This agency does not handle routine applications and is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. You must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment before visiting.
