FAQ

Passport photo questions, Southgate edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Southgate?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Southgate home using a smartphone or digital camera. You just need a friend or family member to take the picture against a plain white background, as selfies are not permitted by the State Department.

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

The State Department requires all U.S. passport photos to be exactly 2 x 2 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 the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Southgate. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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 federal requirements remain the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When photographing your baby in Southgate, you can lay them on their back on a plain white sheet or drape a white cloth over a car seat to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance, regardless of whether you renew by mail from Michigan or online.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times from Michigan to the processing center can add a few extra weeks, so it is best to apply well ahead of your planned departure.

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

The closest regional facility is the Detroit Passport Agency, located just a short drive north of Southgate on Michigan Avenue. This agency is exclusively for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 calendar days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
