FAQ

Passport photo questions, Joliet edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Joliet?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Joliet as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily set up in your home. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your selfie is perfectly cropped and compliant before you submit your application.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color 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. Digital photos must be at least 600x600 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 Joliet. 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.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding their posture and expression. For example, a baby's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and no other person can be in the photo. Many Joliet parents find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white sheet at home to capture the shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new passport photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last Illinois driver's license or passport photo, using an older image will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing for a U.S. passport typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add several weeks to the total door-to-door process. If you have an upcoming trip out of O'Hare or Midway, it is best to apply as early as possible.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown on Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in Will County instead.
