FAQ

Passport photo questions, Decatur edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Decatur?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Decatur using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and use a service like Perfect Passport to verify federal compliance.

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

The U.S. State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the 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 Decatur. 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' poses. No other person can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet in your Decatur home is often the easiest method.

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, using an older photo will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing for a U.S. passport currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several additional weeks, so Illinois residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 180 miles away. This agency is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must have an appointment to enter.
