FAQ

Passport photo questions, Downers Grove edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Downers Grove?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Downers Grove 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 since selfies are not allowed.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 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, the State Department prohibits wearing glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned 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. No other people can be in the photo, so it is often easiest to lay your baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport picture to be 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 several additional weeks to the total turnaround time, so Illinois residents should plan ahead.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Downers Grove?

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