FAQ

Passport photo questions, Clifton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Clifton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Clifton as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod.

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 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in New Jersey. 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Clifton, ensure no other person is in the frame, which can be done by laying the child on a plain white blanket.

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 your passport picture to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center are not included, so Clifton residents should apply well in advance of their travel dates.

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

The closest regional facility is the New York Passport Agency, located just across the river in Manhattan. This agency is strictly for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for a life-or-death emergency.
