FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bloomington edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bloomington?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Bloomington as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo 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. When taking a baby's passport photo in Bloomington, it's often easiest to lay them on a plain white blanket.

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. This ensures your passport accurately reflects your current appearance.

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. Mailing times can add an additional few weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional facility is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located just a short drive north of Bloomington. This agency is available by appointment only for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
