FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bowie edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bowie?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Bowie as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the picture since selfies are not allowed.

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

The State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

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

No, you must remove your glasses for your U.S. passport photo unless you have a signed doctor's note for medical reasons. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Bowie, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a white sheet over their car seat.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes several weeks, while expedited service offers a faster turnaround for an additional fee. Mailing times to and from the passport processing center can add extra time to the total turnaround, so Bowie residents should plan ahead.

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

The closest regional facility is the Washington Passport Agency in Washington, D.C., just a short drive from Bowie. This agency only accepts appointments for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
