FAQ

Passport photo questions, Malden edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Malden?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Malden using a smartphone. The State Department allows self-taken photos as long as they meet all official requirements, such as having a plain white background and proper lighting. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your DIY photo is fully compliant before submission.

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

Your photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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. Digital photos used for online renewals must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Massachusetts. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. Just make sure no other person, hands, or objects 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 renew your U.S. passport. The photo must have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you look exactly the same as you did in your old passport, reusing an old photo will cause your application to be rejected.

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 for an additional government fee. Mailing times to and from the processing centers can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround. If you are applying at a Malden post office, it is best to submit your application well ahead of your planned travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the Boston Passport Agency, located just a few miles south of Malden at the Thomas P. 'Tip' O'Neill Federal Building. This agency is exclusively for travelers who have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 calendar days. You must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment before visiting.
