FAQ

Passport photo questions, University City edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in University City?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in University City as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken against a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help you ensure your home photo is fully compliant before you print or submit it.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches in size. The image must be printed 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. Digital photos used for online renewal must be at least 600 x 600 pixels.

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 Missouri. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by the headwear.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic State Department rules are the same for infants and children, but no other people can be in the photo. If you are photographing a baby in University City, it is often easiest to lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. The child's eyes should ideally be open, though the rules are slightly more relaxed for newborns.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much, reusing an old photo will cause your renewal application to be 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 service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from federal processing centers can add several weeks to the total turnaround time.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to University City?

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to University City is the Chicago Passport Agency, located roughly 300 miles away in Illinois. Because it is quite a drive from Missouri, it is only recommended for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For standard processing or expedited renewals, you should use a local acceptance facility or apply by mail.
