FAQ

Passport photo questions, Elizabeth edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Elizabeth?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Elizabeth as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and print it on high-quality photo paper.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy 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.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily around 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 photo requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. For example, a baby's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket at your Elizabeth home to take the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport, whether you mail it from Elizabeth or renew online. The State Department requires your photo 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 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several additional weeks to your total wait.

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

The closest regional facility to Elizabeth is the New York Passport Agency in Lower Manhattan. This agency requires an appointment and is strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
