FAQ

Passport photo questions, Cape Girardeau edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Cape Girardeau?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Cape Girardeau as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your homemade photo has the correct lighting, background, and cropping. Selfies are strictly prohibited, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the shot.

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

Your passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 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 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 Cape Girardeau. 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 formatting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. For example, a newborn does not need to be looking directly at the camera, and their eyes can be partially closed. However, no other people or hands can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Missouri residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Cape Girardeau?

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Cape Girardeau is the Arkansas Passport Center in Hot Springs, which is over 300 miles away. Because it is so far, most local residents apply at a nearby post office or acceptance facility unless they have a life-or-death travel emergency.
