FAQ

Passport photo questions, Kalispell edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Kalispell?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Kalispell using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport allow you to snap a compliant picture from the comfort of your home. Just ensure 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?

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The color image must be clear, 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 Kalispell. 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to maintain perfect eye contact, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the photo. Ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

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

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 processing centers can add a few extra weeks, so Montana travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Kalispell is the Seattle Passport Agency, located over 500 miles away in Washington. Because of the distance, this agency is typically only used for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine applications, you can use a local Kalispell acceptance facility.
