FAQ

Passport photo questions, Rochester edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Rochester?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Rochester as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting is even with no shadows on your face. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the picture for you.

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 printed in color on high-quality photo 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 used for online renewal 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 strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Rochester. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. If a head covering is worn, it must not obscure your hairline or cast shadows on your face.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements for babies and young children are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. Infants can be photographed lying on their backs on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat draped with a white cloth. Ensure no other people, including parents' hands, are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your passport. The State Department requires the photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much since your last New Hampshire 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 6 to 8 weeks from the time the application is received. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Rochester residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional agency to Rochester is the National Passport Center located in nearby Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This facility is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you cannot simply walk in for routine service. You must call the national scheduling system to secure an appointment before visiting.
