FAQ

Passport photo questions, Kearney edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Kearney?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Kearney as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, which you can easily set up in your home or office. Just make sure the lighting is even and there are no shadows on your face or the background.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Digital photos used for online renewals must be at least 600 by 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 Kearney. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you have a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any obscuring shadows or accessories.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. For example, a newborn photographed in Kearney can be laid on a plain white blanket, and they do not need to be looking directly at the camera. However, no other people or hands can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you renew 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 you look exactly the same as you did when your last passport was issued, an older photo will be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks from the time your application is received. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to two to three weeks. Keep in mind that mailing times from Nebraska can add a few extra days to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency for Kearney residents is the Colorado Passport Agency located in Aurora. However, because it is over 300 miles away, most Nebraskans only travel there for life-or-death emergencies or urgent travel within 14 days. For standard applications and renewals, it is much easier to use a local acceptance facility or apply by mail.
