FAQ

Passport photo questions, Glen Ellyn edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Glen Ellyn?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Glen Ellyn home using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have a plain white background, ample lighting, and follow all federal guidelines for facial expression and head size. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your image meets all State Department requirements before you submit it.

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

The State Department requires all U.S. passport photos to be exactly 2 by 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 hair. Digital photos used for online renewals must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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 in Glen Ellyn. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's note for medical reasons. 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, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' facial expressions and eye contact. If you are photographing a baby in Glen Ellyn, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth. Make sure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the final shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you haven't changed much since your last Illinois driver's license or passport photo, reusing an old image will cause your application to be rejected.

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 for an additional government fee. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several weeks to the total turnaround. If you have upcoming international travel, Glen Ellyn residents should apply well in advance to avoid any unexpected delays.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Glen Ellyn?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown at 101 Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency does not accept routine walk-ins and is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For standard processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in the Glen Ellyn area instead.
