FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bloomington edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bloomington?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Bloomington as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You cannot take a selfie, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the image. Using a dedicated tool helps ensure your homemade photo passes all State Department checks.

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

Your passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size and printed in color on high-quality, uncreased photo paper. It requires a plain white or off-white background with your head measuring between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from chin to crown. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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 around Bloomington. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and their eyes can be partially closed. You can lay your infant on a plain white blanket at your Bloomington home to easily capture the shot.

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 image to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Reusing an old photo will cause your renewal 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 additional weeks on each end of the process. Indiana residents planning international trips should apply well in advance of their departure date.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 230 miles north of Bloomington. This agency is a specialized State Department facility, not a standard post office or acceptance facility. You can only visit by appointment if you have international travel scheduled within 14 calendar days or a life-or-death emergency.
