FAQ

Passport photo questions, Valparaiso edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Valparaiso?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Valparaiso as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You'll need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting without shadows, and someone else to take the photo for you.

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

The State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 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 must be removed for all U.S. passport photos to avoid glare and ensure facial recognition. 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 background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. If you're photographing a baby in Valparaiso, laying them on a plain white sheet or draping 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 taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly, using an older photo will cause your application to be delayed or 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 from Indiana to the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 55 miles northwest of Valparaiso. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone.
