FAQ

Passport photo questions, Elmhurst edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Elmhurst?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Elmhurst as long as it meets all State Department requirements. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and a friend or tripod to take the picture, as selfies are not allowed. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your homemade photo is fully compliant before you print or submit it.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality, uncreased photo 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. Digital photos submitted online must be at least 600 by 600 pixels and in JPEG format.

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 every day for vision correction. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious reasons or a doctor's statement for medical purposes. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by the headwear.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding their posture and expression. For example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be completely open, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. 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, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo, even if it was accepted for a previous passport, will cause your renewal application to be 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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process. If you are applying from Elmhurst and have urgent travel within 14 days, you may qualify for an in-person appointment at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility to Elmhurst is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown on Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency handles urgent travel needs and life-or-death emergencies for residents across Illinois and the Midwest. You cannot walk in for routine service; you must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment.
