FAQ

Passport photo questions, Elkhart edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Elkhart?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Elkhart home using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and follow all federal guidelines, or use a service like Perfect Passport to verify compliance.

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, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and feature your head measuring 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Indiana. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When photographing a baby in Elkhart, ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame, which can be easily done by laying the child on a plain white blanket.

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

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 federal fee. Processing times fluctuate throughout the year, so Elkhart residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 110 miles west of Elkhart. This agency is only for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency, and an appointment is required.
