FAQ

Passport photo questions, Holyoke edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Holyoke?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Holyoke home as long as it meets federal guidelines. You cannot take a selfie, so you will need a friend or a tripod to snap the picture. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your home photo passes all State Department checks.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and feature a plain white or off-white background. 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 eyeglasses for your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Massachusetts. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows obscuring your features.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. If you are photographing a baby in Holyoke, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. No other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. Even if your appearance has not changed much since your last Massachusetts ID or passport was issued, federal rules strictly prohibit reusing an old picture.

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. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel in the mail from Holyoke to the processing center. Apply well in advance of your planned international trip to avoid delays.

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

The closest regional facility is the Boston Passport Agency, located about 90 miles east of Holyoke. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility like a post office in Hampden County instead.
