FAQ

Passport photo questions, Worcester edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Worcester?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Worcester as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your homemade photo is perfectly compliant before you submit it.

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

Whether you print it in Worcester or order it online, your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). The image must be printed on photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Digital formats 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Worcester. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without shadows.

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 and toddlers. For example, if you are photographing a newborn at home in Worcester, you can lay them on a plain white blanket. Just make sure no other people or hands are visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport, whether you mail it from Worcester or renew online. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo will cause your renewal application to be delayed or 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. Mailing times from Massachusetts to the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time. If you are traveling sooner, you may need to secure an urgent travel appointment at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility to Worcester is the Boston Passport Agency, located about 45 miles away in downtown Boston. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and it requires a scheduled appointment. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility like a Worcester post office instead.
