FAQ

Passport photo questions, Skokie edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Skokie?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Skokie as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You cannot submit a standard selfie, so it is best to have a friend take the picture or use a tripod. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your home photo is perfectly formatted and compliant before you apply.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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 also be high-resolution and uncompressed.

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

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Illinois. 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 any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same for infants, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or maintain a perfectly neutral expression. You can lay your infant on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to capture the photo easily.

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 your photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo from a previous passport will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

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 for an additional government fee. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several weeks to the total turnaround time. If you are applying at a local Skokie acceptance facility, it is best to start the process well before your planned departure.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 15 miles south of Skokie in downtown Chicago. This agency is exclusively 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 Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment.
