FAQ

Passport photo questions, Independence edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Independence?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Independence using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport ensure your photo meets all State Department requirements before you submit it. 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). The image must be in color, printed 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.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Missouri. 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 photographed in Independence can be laid on a plain white sheet or placed in a car seat covered with a white cloth, and their eyes do not need to be fully 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 U.S. passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last passport was issued, federal rules require a recent image.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the passport processing centers can add several weeks, so Missouri travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

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

Currently, the closest active U.S. Passport Agencies are located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Chicago, Illinois, both over 250 miles away. While a new agency is planned for nearby Kansas City, Independence residents needing same-day service for urgent travel must currently book an appointment at an out-of-state location.
