FAQ

Passport photo questions, Owensboro edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Owensboro?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Owensboro using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the picture since selfies are not allowed. Services like Perfect Passport can help format your DIY photo to meet all federal guidelines.

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

The U.S. State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper and clearly show your full face, with your head measuring between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, you must remove your eyeglasses for your U.S. passport photo, 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.

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 head positions. If you are photographing a baby in Owensboro, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. Ensure no other people or hands are visible in the final frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your picture to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance accurately.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing for a U.S. passport currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. If you are planning an international trip from the Owensboro area, it is highly recommended to apply well in advance of your departure date.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency for urgent, in-person appointments is the Chicago Passport Agency, located over 300 miles away. Because there are no regional agencies for life-or-death emergencies within a short drive of western Kentucky, residents should plan ahead and utilize standard mail-in or local acceptance facilities whenever possible.
