FAQ

Passport photo questions, Apple Valley edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Apple Valley?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Apple Valley as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your DIY photo is fully compliant before submission.

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 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, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or looking away from the camera. No other people, including parents holding the child, can be visible in the frame. Laying your baby on a plain white sheet in your Apple Valley home is a great way to capture the shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new passport photo every time you renew 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 about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks for an additional federal fee. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so Minnesota travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Apple Valley?

The closest regional facility is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located about 20 miles north in downtown Minneapolis. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
