FAQ

Passport photo questions, Pontiac edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Pontiac?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Pontiac using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport ensure your photo meets all State Department requirements before you submit it. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white background.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on high-quality photo paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily around Pontiac. 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 head positions. No other people or hands can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet is a great way to capture their picture at home in Michigan.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly, the State Department requires a recent photo to process your application.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks. If you pay for expedited service, you can expect your passport in 2 to 3 weeks, not including mailing times from Michigan.

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

The closest regional facility is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 30 miles southeast of Pontiac. This agency is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must make an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
