FAQ

Passport photo questions, Portland edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Portland?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Portland as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on high-quality, matte or glossy photo paper, and your head must measure 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, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily. 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or looking away from the camera. When photographing a baby in Portland, it helps to lay them on a plain white blanket to ensure the background is compliant.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport. The State Department requires the 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 about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time, so Portland residents should plan ahead before international trips.

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

The closest regional agency for urgent travel is the Boston Passport Agency, located about 107 miles south of Portland. You can only make an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
