FAQ

Passport photo questions, College Park edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in College Park?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in College Park as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting without shadows, and have someone else 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 your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm). Your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head, and the image must be printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper.

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

No, glasses have been banned in U.S. passport photos since 2016, 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 reasons or a doctor's statement for medical purposes.

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' poses and expressions. For babies, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or cover a car seat with a white sheet, ensuring no other people or hands are 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 apply for or renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the photo to have been 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 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Keep in mind that mailing times can add up to two additional weeks to the total turnaround time, so College Park residents should apply well in advance of their trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to College Park?

The closest regional facility is the Washington Passport Agency, located about 10 miles away in downtown Washington, D.C. This agency is exclusively for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
