FAQ

Passport photo questions, Portage edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Portage?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Portage as long as it meets all strict U.S. State Department guidelines. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your home photo has the correct lighting, background, and cropping. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the shot.

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 and printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily around Indiana. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you have a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons.

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 infants' poses. A baby can be photographed lying on a plain white sheet or in a car seat covered with a white cloth. No other people, including parents' hands, can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, whether you mail it from Portage or apply online. The State Department requires that your passport photo be 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 generally takes several weeks, while expedited service is faster for an additional fee. Mailing times from Indiana can add extra time to the total turnaround, so Portage residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 40 miles northwest of Portage. This agency is only for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency, and an appointment is strictly required.
