FAQ

Passport photo questions, Salina edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Salina?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Salina home using a smartphone. As long as you follow federal guidelines regarding lighting, background, and facial expression, the State Department accepts self-taken digital photos. Using a dedicated service helps ensure your image meets all official requirements before submission.

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

Your printed U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size and printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper. The image must be in color, have a plain white or off-white background, and clearly show your head centered within specific measurement guidelines.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or 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' facial expressions and head positions. If you are photographing a baby in Salina, you can lay them on their back on a plain white sheet to ensure no other people or objects are in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you renew your U.S. passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed. The State Department requires that your passport picture be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect how you look today.

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 fee. Mailing times from Kansas to the federal processing centers can add up to four extra weeks for round-trip delivery, so apply well ahead of your trip.

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

The closest fully operational regional passport agencies to Salina are the Colorado Passport Agency in Centennial and the Arkansas Passport Center in Hot Springs, both over 400 miles away. These specialized agencies are strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine new applications, you can simply visit a local acceptance facility like the Salina post office.
