FAQ

Passport photo questions, Grand Island edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Grand Island?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Grand Island as long as it meets all federal requirements. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and a friend or a tripod to take the picture, as selfies are strictly prohibited.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) 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.

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

No, glasses have been banned in U.S. passport photos since 2016, so you must remove them before taking your picture. 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 federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or looking away from the camera. If you are photographing a baby in Grand Island, laying them on a plain white sheet or draping a car seat with a white cloth works best.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much, using an older photo or the one from your previous passport will result in your application being rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks for an additional federal fee. Mailing times from Nebraska can add a few extra days on either end, so it is best to apply well before your planned international trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Grand Island?

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency is the Colorado Passport Agency in Aurora, which is roughly 400 miles away from Grand Island. Because it is quite a drive from central Nebraska, this agency is generally only used for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
