FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lexington edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lexington?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Lexington as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily find in your home or office. Services like Perfect Passport can then verify and format your image to ensure it is accepted.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and show your head centered and sized between 1 and 1.375 inches.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Kentucky. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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 are photographing a baby in Lexington, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. 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, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to 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 currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay the federal government's expedited fee, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks.

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

For urgent international travel within 14 days, Lexington residents typically have to drive to regional agencies in cities like Detroit, Chicago, or Atlanta, which are all over 300 miles away. While a new agency was recently announced for Cincinnati, most standard applications can simply be submitted at a local Kentucky acceptance facility or renewed by mail.
