FAQ

Passport photo questions, Champaign edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Champaign?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Champaign 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 photo or use a tripod.

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 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 strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Champaign. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When photographing a baby in Champaign, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or cover a car seat with a white sheet to ensure a compliant background.

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, the State Department requires a recent image to reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes about 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Illinois residents should apply well in advance of their planned travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 135 miles north of Champaign. You can only make an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 calendar days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
