FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mundelein edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mundelein?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Mundelein home as long as it meets federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are strictly prohibited.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches 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 the chin to the top of the head.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the U.S. State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Mundelein. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's note for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying on a plain white blanket. It is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not entirely open, but no other person, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

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 the 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?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. If you are applying at a local acceptance facility in Lake County, remember to factor in mailing times to and from the federal processing centers.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located downtown at 101 Ida B. Wells Drive. This agency does not accept routine applications and is strictly for travelers who need an urgent passport for international travel within 14 days.
