FAQ

Passport photo questions, Sparks edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Sparks?

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

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

Your printed passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper and clearly show your full head from the top of your hair to the bottom of your chin. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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. 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.

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 and toddlers. A baby does not need to maintain a perfectly neutral expression or look directly at the camera, but their eyes should be open. You can lay your baby on a plain white blanket to take the photo safely.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The photo must have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo from a previous passport will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks from the time the application is received. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to two to three weeks. Mailing times to and from the passport processing center can add several weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the San Francisco Passport Agency, located about 222 miles southwest of Sparks. This agency only accepts appointments for travelers who have an international departure within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you can simply use a local acceptance facility like a post office in Washoe County.
