FAQ

Passport photo questions, Niles edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Niles?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo in Niles using a smartphone or digital camera. You simply need a plain white or off-white background and good lighting to capture the image. Services like Perfect Passport can then format it to meet all federal guidelines.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them for daily use. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you provide a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The standard size and background requirements apply to babies and young children, but the State Department allows slightly more relaxed poses. For instance, infants can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not completely open.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, regardless of whether your appearance has changed. The State Department requires all passport photos to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect how you look today.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the application process.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located in downtown Chicago. This agency is reserved exclusively for life-or-death emergencies and urgent international travel within 14 days, and you must secure an appointment by phone before visiting.
