FAQ

Passport photo questions, Blaine edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Blaine?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Blaine as long as it meets all federal requirements. Services like Perfect Passport help you capture a compliant image from home using your smartphone. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and taken within the last six months. 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, even if you wear them daily in Blaine. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, 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 poses. A baby can be photographed lying on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat draped with a white sheet. No other people, including parents' hands, can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to reflect your current appearance and be taken within six months of your application date. Reusing an old photo will cause your renewal application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround. If you are planning an international trip from Minnesota, it is best to apply well in advance.

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

The closest regional facility is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located just south of Blaine in downtown Minneapolis. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or renew through the mail.
