FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mount Prospect edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mount Prospect?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Mount Prospect as long as it meets federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting is even without shadows. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the picture.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality, matte or glossy photo paper. 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must remain visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby can be photographed lying on a plain white sheet or sitting in a car seat draped with a white cloth. No other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the photo.

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 picture to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo will cause your application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to four weeks to the total door-to-door turnaround. If you have an upcoming trip, it is best to apply as early as possible from Mount Prospect.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Mount Prospect?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located in downtown Chicago. This agency is strictly for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. You cannot walk in; you must call the national hotline to schedule an appointment.
