FAQ

Passport photo questions, Hoffman Estates edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Hoffman Estates?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Hoffman Estates as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the shot.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be in color, printed 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 must be removed for all U.S. passport photos to avoid glare and ensure your face is fully visible. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. A baby does not need to maintain a perfectly neutral expression or look directly at the camera, but no other people can be in the frame. Many Hoffman Estates parents find it easiest to lay their infant on a plain white sheet to take the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires the image to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from the time the application is received. If you request expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several additional weeks to the total turnaround.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Hoffman Estates?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown on Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency does not accept walk-ins and only issues passports for customers with life-or-death emergencies or documented international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, Hoffman Estates residents should use a local acceptance facility or renew by mail.
