FAQ

Passport photo questions, Michigan City edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Michigan City?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from anywhere in Michigan City using your smartphone. Services like Perfect Passport ensure your image meets all federal requirements before you print or submit it.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. Whether you print it at a Michigan City pharmacy or order prints online, it must be a high-resolution color image on photo-quality paper with your head measuring between 1 and 1 3/8 inches.

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

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily around Indiana. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 formatting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When photographing your baby at home in Michigan City, ensure no other people are in the frame and that the child is looking generally toward the camera.

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 when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, federal rules require an up-to-date picture for your new document.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, plus additional time for mailing your application and receiving the passport. If you need it faster, you can pay an extra fee for expedited service, but Michigan City residents should still apply well in advance of their trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Michigan City?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 60 miles west of Michigan City. This agency is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
