FAQ

Passport photo questions, Grand Rapids edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Grand Rapids?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Grand Rapids as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo unless you have a signed doctor's note for a medical condition. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless worn daily for religious or medical reasons, and they must not obscure your face or cast shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Grand Rapids, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The photo must have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several additional weeks to the total turnaround time, so Michigan residents should apply well in advance of their travel dates.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Grand Rapids?

The closest regional facility is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 155 miles southeast of Grand Rapids. This agency only accepts appointments for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
