FAQ

Passport photo questions, Duluth edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Duluth?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Duluth as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture or use a tripod.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 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 in Duluth. 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby can be photographed lying on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not entirely open.

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 passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, federal rules require a recent image to reflect your current look.

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 several additional weeks to the total door-to-door turnaround, so Duluth residents should apply well ahead of any planned travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located about 150 miles south of Duluth. This agency is only for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or have a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
