FAQ

Passport photo questions, Medford edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Medford?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from anywhere in Medford using your smartphone. Just make sure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and follow all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your photo meets all requirements.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. It should be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper and feature your head sized between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. Digital images must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Medford. 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 size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the picture. Make sure 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 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. Even if your look hasn't changed much, an older photo will be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay for expedited service, processing times are reduced to about 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so Medford residents should plan ahead.

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

The closest regional facility is the Boston Passport Agency, located just a few miles away in downtown Boston. This agency is only available by appointment for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or renew by mail.
