FAQ

Passport photo questions, Meridian edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Meridian?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Meridian as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You cannot take a selfie, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the image. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your homemade photo passes all State Department checks.

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 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. The background must be plain white or off-white with no shadows.

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. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or medical reasons. Even with an exemption, your full face must remain visible without shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby can be photographed lying on their back 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, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Reusing an old photo from a previous passport will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay for expedited processing, you can expect your passport in roughly 2 to 3 weeks. Processing times fluctuate throughout the year, so Meridian residents should apply well ahead of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility for Meridian residents is the New Orleans Passport Center, located about 200 miles away in Louisiana. This agency does not accept walk-ins or handle routine processing. You must schedule an appointment by phone, and you can only do so if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
