FAQ

Passport photo questions, Springfield edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Springfield?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Springfield as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily find in your home or office. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your DIY photo is perfectly formatted for the State Department.

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 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.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your U.S. passport photo. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or 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 regarding closed eyes or looking directly at the camera. If you are photographing a baby in Illinois, laying them on a plain white sheet or draping a car seat with a white cloth works best. No other people can be visible in the frame.

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 picture to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel from Springfield to the processing center and back.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 200 miles northeast of Springfield. This agency is strictly for travelers with international flights within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and an appointment is mandatory.
