FAQ

Passport photo questions, Portage edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Portage?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Portage as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily find in your home or office. Just ensure your lighting is even and you have someone else take the picture, as selfies are not permitted.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches 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. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant passport photos. A baby does not need to maintain a completely neutral expression or look directly at the camera. You can lay your infant on a plain white blanket in your Portage home to safely capture 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. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an older photo from a previous passport will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing generally takes several weeks from the time you submit your application. Mailing times from Michigan to the federal processing centers can add additional time to the total turnaround. If you have an urgent trip, you can pay for expedited processing or apply in person at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 140 miles east of Portage. There is also the Chicago Passport Agency, which is a similar distance to the west. Both locations require an appointment and only serve travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international departures within 14 days.
