FAQ

Passport photo questions, Carson edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Carson?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Carson as long as it meets federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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 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, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Nevada. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When taking a baby's photo in Carson, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet. 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 photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires that your passport photo be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add additional weeks to the total wait time.
