FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lewiston edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lewiston?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Lewiston using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your selfie meets all federal guidelines before you submit it. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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 (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and feature your head sized between 1 and 1 3/8 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 cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Lewiston. 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. No other person can be in the photo, so it is often easiest to lay your baby on a plain white sheet at home in Lewiston. The child's eyes should ideally be open, though it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are partially closed.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport, whether you mail it from Maine or renew online. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times to and from the federal processing centers, which can add up to four weeks for the round trip.

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

The closest regional agency for urgent travel is the National Passport Center in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. You cannot walk in for routine service; appointments are strictly limited to life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
