FAQ

Passport photo questions, Newton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Newton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Newton as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture or use a tripod.

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

The State Department requires passport photos to be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) 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, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Newton. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Newton, ensure no other people are in the frame and that the child's eyes are open.

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 the photo to have been taken within the last six months to 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. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add up to two weeks on each end, so Massachusetts residents should plan their travel accordingly.

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

The closest regional facility is the Boston Passport Agency, located at the Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Federal Building at 10 Causeway Street. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and an appointment is required.
