FAQ

Passport photo questions, Covington edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Covington?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Covington as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the shot.

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

The State Department requires your printed photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. Your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The image must be printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper without any digital alterations.

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

No, glasses have been banned from U.S. passport photos since 2016, even if you wear them daily in Kentucky. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same for infants in Covington, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. A newborn's eyes do not need to be completely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the picture. No other people or hands can be visible 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. The State Department requires the image to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo from a previous passport will cause your application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes up to 6 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay the federal expedite fee, processing times are reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times from Kentucky can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround.

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

The closest fully operational regional U.S. Passport Agencies to Covington are located in Chicago and Detroit, both over 250 miles away. These federal agencies are strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine services, residents should use a local acceptance facility like a post office or county clerk.
