FAQ

Passport photo questions, Gurnee edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Gurnee?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Gurnee as long as it meets all federal requirements. The State Department allows self-taken photos provided they have a plain white background, proper lighting, and no filters. Services like Perfect Passport make it easy to snap a compliant photo right from your home.

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. It must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Additionally, 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them every day. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you provide 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 format requirements for babies and young children are the same as for adults. However, the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos; for example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be completely open. Just ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Currently, routine passport processing 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. Illinois residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 40 miles south of Gurnee. This agency does not accept walk-ins; you must schedule an appointment by phone, and it is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies.
