FAQ

Passport photo questions, Hobart edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Hobart?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Hobart home. Just make sure you use a plain white background, have good lighting, and follow all federal guidelines to ensure it gets accepted.

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

The State Department requires your photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. It must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and the image must be in color without any digital alterations.

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

No, glasses are strictly prohibited in all U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Indiana. 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 infants do not need to have their eyes fully open or look directly at the camera. If you are photographing a baby at home in Hobart, laying them on a plain white sheet or covering a car seat with a white cloth works best.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much, reusing an old photo will result in your renewal application being 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. Mailing times to and from the processing centers can add several additional weeks, so Hobart residents should apply well in advance of any planned travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 38 miles away in downtown Chicago. This agency is only for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or have a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
