FAQ

Passport photo questions, Dover edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Dover?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Dover as long as it meets all U.S. Department of State requirements. Services like Perfect Passport make it easy to snap a compliant photo from your home in New Hampshire using just your smartphone. Just be sure to use a plain white or off-white background and have someone else take the picture.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, 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. Digital photos 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 unless you have a signed doctor's note for a medical condition. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless worn daily for religious or medical reasons, and they must not cast shadows or obscure your face.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements for baby and child passport photos are the same, including the 2x2 inch size and white background. However, the State Department is more lenient with infants regarding their eyes being fully open or looking directly at the camera. No other people, hands, or props can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated 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. Using an old photo will cause your renewal application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process. If you have urgent international travel, you may qualify for an emergency appointment at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility to Dover is the Boston Passport Agency, located about 70 miles south in Massachusetts. This agency is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center. For routine service, you can apply at a local acceptance facility in New Hampshire.
