FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lansing edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lansing?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Lansing as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You'll need a white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the picture, as selfies are not permitted.

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. 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 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. When photographing a baby in Lansing, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth 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, even if your appearance hasn't changed. The State Department requires that your passport photo be taken within the last six months to reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total door-to-door turnaround, so Lansing residents should apply well ahead of their planned travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 90 miles southeast of Lansing. This agency only accepts appointments for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
