FAQ

Passport photo questions, Rockford edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Rockford?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Rockford as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting casts no shadows on your face. Selfies are not allowed, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the image.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Digital photos used for online renewal must be at least 600 by 600 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 Rockford. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements for babies and young children are the same as for adults, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. Infants can be photographed lying down on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat covered with a white cloth. No other people, 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 photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo 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 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process. If you are applying at a local Rockford acceptance facility, apply well in advance of your trip.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 85 miles east of Rockford. This agency only accepts appointments for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a documented life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or renew by mail.
